Safety. Oscilloscopes, signals, pulser, NIM modules - 23/02/26 (14:00 - 17:20)
Lab 215-214
Safety and behavior code in laboratory.
First hands-on session in the lab: digital oscilloscopes, cables, connectors, pulse generator, NIM Crate.
Electrical signals: voltage and current.
Ideal and real generators for current or voltage: internal resistors in parallel or series on an external load.
Analog and digital signals: characteristics, differences; AC and DC components.
Logic families: NIM, CMOS, LVDS.
Usage of oscilloscopes features on pulse (square wave waveform): setting vertical and horizontal scales, trigger modes, measurements, statistical functions, AC and DC input coupling, data and waveform acquisition.
