Let’s study the use and purpose of oscilloscopes.
Application of oscilloscope | with Purpose
- Power Electronics Laboratory: The Oscilloscope is used for teaching and demonstrating electrical and electronic concepts with the practical session. It means to visualize or analyze the behavior of electric circuits.
- Communication System: This tool helps analyze and debug communication signals (such as radio frequency and microwave signals).
- Power System: In power transmission and distribution networks, oscilloscopes help to monitor and analyze power supply quality. Also, it detects and diagnoses power issues.
- Healthcare and Medical Fields: Oscilloscopes are used for testing and calibrating medical equipment and machines (such as ECG and EEG devices).
- Automotive Industry: For diagnosing and troubleshooting electrical vehicles and monitoring signals from sensors, control units, and communication buses, the oscilloscope is needed.
- Research and Development (R&D): For measuring, conducting, and analyzing scientific research in the different fields of physics and engineering, it is very essential.
Thus, oscilloscope plays a crucial role in applications ranging from educational training to research and development.
