The Student Oscilloscope is an inexpensive, single channel oscilloscope with simplified control layout for student operation and permanent triggering featureIt is a great introductory unit to teach the basics of oscilloscope use with a useful set of features e.g. 8 switched gains from 50mV to 10mV per division and a timebase with switched ranges of 1, 10, 100 or 1000ms across screen with variable x 1 to x 10 controlThis extremely popular educational oscilloscope is robust and easy-to-use. The flat screen is 70mm across a diagonal with graticule marked in 10 x 10 0.5cm squares. Focus, Brilliance, X shift and Y shift controls determine the position and nature of the trace. A Y input can be passed to the Y amplifier directly or through an internal capacitor to block a d.c. component. Note that with the slowest timebase setting, the spot takes 10s to cross the screen, ideal for slow analogue computing investigations. The start of the spot from the left-handed edge of the screen is synchronised automatically to the positive-going edge of the Y input. (Please note: This may mean that the track takes about 1s to settle down if the Y position is altered). The time base may be switched off and the X input p.d. used to control the horizontal position of the spot, e.g. in Lissajou’s figures.
