Signal Generator 1.Describe what each control on the CRO does. 2.Describe a method for finding peak voltage. 3.Describe a method of finding the period (time for one wave), then the frequency of the wave. Frequency = 1 ÷ period NB. period must be in seconds, beware of milliseconds, ms Tutorial Questions ac Qu 5 and 6 Virtual oscilloscope
