Introduction to Oscilloscopes and
Probes
The environment around us contains various energy
sources, such as electronic appliances, which generate
signals. Oscilloscopes allow you to observe these signals to
analyze the performance of their energy sources. This
module introduces you to oscilloscopes and the methods to
measure electrical signals by using oscilloscopes and
associated probes.
At the end of this module, you will be able to:
• Identify the types of oscilloscopes.
• List the terms to describe the performance of
oscilloscopes.
• Identify the types of voltage probes.
• Describe the loading effects of probes on signals.

Getting to Know Oscilloscopes
This section introduces you to oscilloscopes and describes
the different types of oscilloscopes and their functions. The
section includes the following topics:
• Introduction to Oscilloscopes
• Types of Oscilloscopes
• Oscilloscope Terminology
Introduction to Oscilloscopes
You use an oscilloscope to display electrical signals as
waveforms. A waveform is a graphical representation of a
wave.
An oscilloscope receives an electrical signal and converts it
into a waveform. The waveform shows the change in
voltage with time on the oscilloscope display screen.

Introduction to Oscilloscopes and Probes
TDS1000B and TDS2000B Series Oscilloscopes – Operator Training Kit 1-3
You can use an oscilloscope to determine the following:
• The frequency of an oscillating signal
• The malfunctioning component in an electrical circuit
• Whether the signal is direct current (DC) or alternating
current (AC)
• What part of the signal is noise
You can also use oscilloscopes to measure electrical
signals in response to physical stimuli, such as sound,
mechanical stress, pressure, light, or heat. For example, a
television technician can use an oscilloscope to measure
signals from a television circuit board while a medical
researcher can use an oscilloscope to measure brain
waves.

Introduction to Oscilloscopes and Probes
1-4 TDS1000B and TDS2000B Series Oscilloscopes – Operator Training Kit
An oscilloscope contains various controls that help you
analyze waveforms displayed on a graphical grid called a
graticule. The vertical or Y-axis of the graticule typically
represents voltage while the horizontal or X-axis typically
represents time.
Figure 1.1 shows how an oscilloscope displays voltage and
time.

TDS1000B and TDS2000B Series Oscilloscopes – Operator Training Kit 1-5
Types of Oscilloscopes
Electronic equipment can be categorized into two types,
analog and digital. Analog equipment use variable voltages
while digital equipment use binary numbers that represent
voltage samples.
Similarly, oscilloscopes are categorized
into analog and digital.
Figure 1.2 shows an analog and a digital oscilloscope.

Analog Oscilloscopes
Let us look at how analog oscilloscopes work. Figure 1.3
shows a block diagram of an analog oscilloscope.
Figure 1.3: Block diagram of an analog oscilloscope
When you connect an analog oscilloscope to a circuit, the
voltage signal from the circuit travels to the vertical
deflection plates of the oscilloscope screen, which is a
phosphor-coated cathode-ray tube (CRT). As a result, when
an electron beam strikes the phosphor coating of the CRT, a
glowing dot appears. When you apply voltage to the
deflection plates, the glowing dot moves.
