written by Fu-Kwun Hwang

This java applet shows the basic functions of an oscilloscope. By changing the input parameters, different sine waves can be generated and can be viewed on the screen. The time division and voltage division can be changed and its effect can be viewed. The simulation allows the user to even observe Lissajous figures.

This is part of a large number of simulations available at http://www.phy.ntnu.edu.tw/ntnujava/

Please note that this resource requires Java Applet Plug-in.
