The board generates a number of safe ‘real-world’ signals, which we will use to perform
measurements. Get familiarized with AC, DC and frequency measurements, sine and

Learn what terms such as V/div, Time/div, trigger level, auto-setup etc… mean. All ex-
periments featured in this project are performed with the
Velleman. Most experiments can be done with any digital storage scope. Some experi-
ments can be performed with an analog scope.
