Learning How to Use an Oscilloscope for Transient Response Experiments

[IbrahimMisbah]

Well, I just registered in the Physics forum.One of my senior friend suggested the side once.And, well, I needed some help regarding oscilloscope.And I didn't know where to turn. I was doing an experiment in our lab which goes by "The transient response of an RC circuit".Here I was given the device called oscilloscope for the first time ever.and I kind of have absolute no idea about it.I tried to bring on some signals but they were apparently no where near an RC circuit response.The Instructor weren't really helpful.And I am at a fix. I know the theories of them.But just don't understand the way how I should manipulate the oscilloscope in my favorable signal.I just wanted to know where can I learn about using oscilloscope...

Thanks in Advance

The above link gives a brief tutorial on both RC circuits and oscilloscope operation.

It even shows how to measure the output of an RC circuit with an oscilloscope.
