SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on connecting an Agilent oscilloscope to measure voltage across a resistor and determine the phase difference between two signals. The user emphasizes the need for advanced features in the Agilent simulation, specifically for adding signals from two channels. The connection method involves grounding the oscilloscope and placing Channel 1 across the resistor. The user also seeks clarification on calculating phase difference using the formula delta t / period * 360 after signal subtraction.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Agilent oscilloscopes and their features
  • Knowledge of resistor voltage measurement techniques
  • Familiarity with signal phase difference calculations
  • Experience with using cursors on oscilloscopes for measurements
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Agilent oscilloscope models and their specific features for signal analysis
  • Learn about resistor voltage drop measurement techniques in circuit analysis
  • Study advanced phase difference calculation methods using oscilloscopes
  • Explore the use of cursors on oscilloscopes for precise signal measurements
USEFUL FOR

Electronics engineers, students in electrical engineering, and anyone involved in signal analysis and measurement using oscilloscopes.

Ok so let's say you wanted to connect the scope across a resistors terminals... how to do you make the connection if the scope is using that coaxial wire... like is their some weird component for splitting the connection?

btw I don't want to use the basic scope because i need to add signals from two channels and rely on some of that nice math stuff in the agilent simulation :P

EDIT: one more thing... is it possible, when you subtract two signals, to determine their phase difference from that math signal? Maybe I'm misreading this from my lab manual:
"Using a convenient feature of the digital scope you can now subtract the two signals and view simultaneously the voltage across L and across R, and determine their phase difference."

i figured out how to connect the scope...basically no way like we do in school... you have to ground the scope, but i think that part is optional, and then connect channel 1 across the element, i guess its [scope ground goes here]---[Vsin]----resistor---x-- you put the probe on to measure voltage drop after across resistor...

I learned doing phase difference from here: http://www.wisc-online.com/objects/index_tj.asp?objID=ACE3803

but that's with the graticule... how do you do it if you use the cursors?

EDIT: Ok i found the formula delta t / period * 360...

Hmm... ok so still got one last question... how do you determine phase difference from subtracting two sigals?
