This document provides an overview of cathode ray oscilloscopes (CROs). It discusses the basic components and workings of a CRO, including the electron gun, deflection plates, and screen. It also describes multi-input oscilloscopes that can display two or more signals, and the alternate and chopped modes. Lissajous patterns generated from two input frequencies are discussed for measuring frequency and phase. Digital storage oscilloscopes are introduced as being able to store waveforms indefinitely compared to analog storage oscilloscopes.
