Circuit Characteristics and Oscilloscopes

(CLICK HERE!) Update pages for Lab 3: Because we have new oscilloscopes in the lab for Fall 2008, the printed instructions are not current. Read the manual up through (and including) section 3.1.4, then continue with the pages located at the link above. Do not follow the Prelab Steps or the Lab Steps in your printed copy of the manual. In addition to the oscilloscope changes, there is an additional exercise (and an additional checkoff) involving tri-state logic, which will make it easier for you to understand material down the road in Lab 8.

Oscilloscope Video: You should watch this before lab if possible (download at home), and definitely in lab when the equipment is in front of you. Use your own personal headphones, or check out a pair of external (earmuff style) headphones from a TA.

AVI (specifically, MPEG4 AVI) format (~350 MBytes)

DivX format (~115 MBytes) -- you can download a free codec for your existing media player, or a complete player with codec from DivX
