Chapter 8: The Display: Oscilloscope
Oscilloscope
The Oscilloscope display allows you to measure the variation of your incoming audio signal level with time. This will allow you to identify many
qualities of your system, for example if the output from your amplier is distorted in any way (clipping) from the nice signals you are putting in.
The display shows time along the horizontal axis, and the signal level along the vertical axis. As an example, if you were playing a sine wave test
tone, if you adjust the test frequency, then you will see the sine wave peaks move closer or further apart in the display. If you adjust the test tone
output level, then the sine wave will increase or decrease in vertical voltage range.
The vertical scale and horizontal scale can both be adjusted to suit your test signal and get the best display.
