A SMALL OVERVIEW ON OSCILLOSCOPES AND FUNCTION GENERATORS.


It is very important to know about CRO(Cathode Ray Oscilloscope) before using it,especially during lab exam times.It is very sensitive and a small carelessness can blow up the CRO or might kill some functions. Following are video links and PDF describing the safe usage,operation,control and troubleshooting of  standard Analog CRO's(mostly scientFic) ,about Function Generators and about probes.
