Measurements
• Measurement involves comparing the value to be measured with
a known value (standard)
• It is impossible to measure without comparison;
• the act of measurement involves reading the value with an
instrument. The instrument makes the comparison of the value
with standard & gives reading.
• Standard are object or prescription to which all other
measurements are compared
• Electronic measurement involves conversion of measured
physical quantity in a corresponding electrical quantity (voltage
or current) through transducer/ sensor and after comparison
with a reference displaying the result.

Importance of measurement
Gimli Glider Experiment : On 23 July 1983, an Air Canada jet ran out
of fuel at 12.5 km above sea, but safely landed at Gimli (Manitoba)
• Investigation revealed that amount of fuel loaded was less due to
miscalculation due to confusion of system of units. Instead of 22,300
kg of fuel, they had 22,300 pounds of fuel
Mars Climate Obiter Incident (Cost $125 million): during orbital
manoeuvre in, 1999, lost radio contact & disintegrated in atmosphere.
• Investigations found that orbiter reached very close to mars surface
that led to disintegration. The cause of discrepancy was a software
that calculated thrusters impulse in p-s, while software that updated
position of spacecraft, expected results to be in N-s.
Columbus reached America instead of Asia. He miscalculated the
circumference of the earth using Roman miles instead of nautical
miles, which is part of reason he landed in Bahamas instead of Asia.

Resolution, digits and counts
• Resolution refers to smallest change in value that can be measured.
• Digits and Counts are used to describe a multi-meter’s resolution.
–A 3 1⁄2-digit meter can display 3 full digits (ranging from 0 to 9), and one
“half” digit which display only 2 symbols (0 & 1), with maximum value 1.
Thus a 3 1 ⁄2-digit meter can display up to 1,999 (2000 counts ).
–A 4 1 ⁄2-digit meter can display up to 19,999 (20000 counts).
–A 3 3 ⁄4-digit meter can display up to 3999 (4000 counts).
–A 2000/20000-count meter may have volt ranges of 200 mV, 2 V, 20 V,
200 V, 750 V
–As the range increase, resolution decrease
–DMM are built with 3200, 4000, or 6000 counts.

• A electron beam is generated by a cathode heated by filament
• Consists of a cathode , grid and anode
• Grid is a Nickel cup with a hole in it
• Cathode is Nickel cylinder, with flat oxide coated electron emitting
surface towards the grid hole. Heating is provided by a filament
• Cathode is kept at -2 KV and grid is adjustable in the range –2KV to
-2.05 KV
• Grid cathode potential controls electrons flow rate towards screen,
thus Grid potential is brightness control.

• If horizontal/ vertical plates are grounded, beam is not deflected.
• With potential across plates, beam deflects to +ve potential.
• Voltage to produce one cm at screen (V/cm) is referred as deflection
factor. Deflection by 1 V (cm/V) is termed as deflection sensitivity
• When ac is applied at deflection plates, horizontal/vertical lines are
produced at the screen. Waveform to be displayed is fed to vertical
plates while horizontal plates are fed with a ramp.

• CRT Screen is formed by coating phosphor material to inside of the
screen. When electron beam strikes, electrons in the phosphor
material go to higher energy level and return to original statae while
emitting the visible light (Glow).
• The glow may persist for some time (ms to second) and may be of
colour Red, Blue , Green or White depending on the material.
• Phosphors are insulators. Secondary emission electrons are
collected by a graphite coating “aquadag” around the neck of tube.
• Post deflection acceleration is provided by helix of resistive material
deposited inside of tube between deflection plate and screen with
starting point at ground while ending point at aquadag (12 KV)
• Thus electrons leaving deflection plates finds continuous
acceleration before striking screen

• When ac is applied to vertical plates
and horizontal plates are grounded,
then spot on the screen produce a
vertical line by moving up and down
• If ramp (a period of saw tooth wave)
is applied on horizontal plate, spot
moves horizontally along with up and
down movement, thereby producing
a waveform

10/2/2017 19
REC 101 Unit IV by Dr Naim R Kidwai,
Professor & Dean, JIT Jahangirabad
• To display a waveform, saw tooth wave (repetitive ramp) is applied
on horizontal plate, generated by a horizontal sweep generator
• Sweep generator consists of ramp generator and Schmitt trigger
• A ramp output is produced by linear charging of capacitor.
• Schmitt trigger output is saturated i.e +(VCC-1)V or –(VEE-1)V
• If Schmitt trigger output is -ve, then then ramp grows
• As the ramp becomes higher than ground, Schmitt trigger output
switches to +ve saturation that triggers ramp below the ground in
very short time thereby again switching the Schmitt trigger.
• Capacitor selection switch (Time/ div switch of CRO) determines T.

• Input to amplifier is alternatively and repeatedly fed by two input
channels. Switching frequency is controlled by time base circuit.
• Repetition frequency is high enough so that two waveforms appear
on screen simultaneously.

• When time base is disconnected, and input waveforms are applied
on horizontal and vertical amplifiers, resulting display are called
lissajou figures and depends on relationship of two waveforms.
• Simple figures occur for waveforms of same frequency waveform,
while for different frequencies quite complex figures are formed.

• CRO have a intensity modulation input termed as Z-axis modulation
• The input wave actually modulates the grid input of oscilloscope.
This dims or blank out the traces.
• For a lissajou figure ‘circle’ when z-axis modulation is applied, gaps
are formed. Ratio of modulating frequency (fm) to deflecting plate
signal frequency (fp) is equal to number gaps in the circle.
• When fm:fp is an exact quantity, gaps in circle will be stable

Sensitivity: defines the amplitude that can be displayed on screen
• Typically sensitivity ranges from 2 mV/div to 10 V/div.
• Using the probe measuring sensitivity can be increased.
Voltage Measurement Accuracy:
• Accuracy of V/div sensitivity is typically 3%.
• Reading accuracy is typically 5% per division.
• For peak to peak voltage in 5 div, reading accuracy is 5%/5= 1%.
Overall measurement accuracy becomes 1%+ 3%= 4%
Frequency Response:
• Highest and lowest frequency of waveform that may be displayed
with no more than 3 dB attenuation
• For CRO upper cutoff frequency (fH) having negligible effect on
displayed waveform, signal frequency should not exceed fH/10

• Reading accuracy of time base is typically 5% per division.
• For peak to peak voltage in 5 div, reading accuracy is 5%/5= 1%.
Overall measurement accuracy becomes 1%+ 5%= 6%
Rise Time Measurement:
• is rise time imposed on oscilloscope on an input pulse wave.
• tro=0.35/fH
Digital Storage Oscilloscope (DSO)
• DSO store and analyses the signal in digital form instead of analog.
The signal is sampled and converted into digital form using ADC
(Analog to digital converter) into binary form. To avoid aliasing,
sampling frequency should be greater than Nyquist rate.
• DAC is used to display on CRT or use a raster type digital display.
• Most DSO sample with 8-bit resolution (1 in 255 or 0.4% resolution).
If DSO can store 4000 samples it is said to have 4000 word memory
or 4K memory
• DSO have interpolation facility which improves display.
• DSO’s high cut-off frequency is normally one fourth of sampling
rate. Ex. 25 MHz DSO with sampling rate 100 M Samples/s
• DSO’s use either real time sampling or equivalent sampling (as in
sampling oscilloscope)

DSO Applications
Auto set : Normally DSO’s have automatic selection of time and
amplitude setting for best waveform display and display the settings
Multichannel display: Normally DSO’s have four or more new and
stored waveform display.
Waveform Processing :Normally DSO’s have DVM, Digital frequency
meter, and time measurement circuits. Two cursors are employed to
select two points on waveform. Vrms, Vp-p, f, tr, T, pulse width, duty
cycle etc. can be measured and displayed.
Pre-Triggering and Post-Triggering: DSO’s can be used to display pre-
trigger and post-trigger portions of the waveform. It is possible
because input waveform is continually processed and stored.
Zoom and Restart : Some DSO’s provide zoom and restart facility. It
is essentially addition method of time delay selection.
10/2/2017 33
REC 101 Unit IV by Dr Naim R Kidwai,
Professor & Dean, JIT Jahangirabad
DSO Applications
Glitch and Runt Catching : High sampling rate DSO’s can catch
Glitches (spikes) which are missed in normal CRO/ DSO. A runt is
special glitch which is not large to produce triggering. A maximum/
minimum detector is employed in some DSO’s for the purpose.
Baby Sitting Mode: Some waveform transits occur once in long
duration. DSO can be put in baby sitting mode in which waveform is
sampled/recorded continuously so that at any instant when anomaly
is detected, many previous cycles are stored to be analysed later.
Roll Mode: Many quantities can vary slowly over a longer period of
time. DSO time base can be adjusted to give long sampling duration,
samples are stored and played back at a faster speed .
Documentation / Printing: DSO’s has storage and printing facilities.

  • 2. Measurements • Measurement involves comparing the value to be measured with a known value (standard) • It is impossible to measure without comparison; • the act of measurement involves reading the value with an instrument. The instrument makes the comparison of the value with standard & gives reading. • Standard are object or prescription to which all other measurements are compared • Electronic measurement involves conversion of measured physical quantity in a corresponding electrical quantity (voltage or current) through transducer/ sensor and after comparison with a reference displaying the result. 10/2/2017 2 REC 101 Unit IV by Dr Naim R Kidwai, Professor & Dean, JIT Jahangirabad
  • 3. Importance of measurement Gimli Glider Experiment : On 23 July 1983, an Air Canada jet ran out of fuel at 12.5 km above sea, but safely landed at Gimli (Manitoba) • Investigation revealed that amount of fuel loaded was less due to miscalculation due to confusion of system of units. Instead of 22,300 kg of fuel, they had 22,300 pounds of fuel Mars Climate Obiter Incident (Cost $125 million): during orbital manoeuvre in, 1999, lost radio contact & disintegrated in atmosphere. • Investigations found that orbiter reached very close to mars surface that led to disintegration. The cause of discrepancy was a software that calculated thrusters impulse in p-s, while software that updated position of spacecraft, expected results to be in N-s. Columbus reached America instead of Asia. He miscalculated the circumference of the earth using Roman miles instead of nautical miles, which is part of reason he landed in Bahamas instead of Asia. 10/2/2017 REC 101 Unit IV by Dr Naim R Kidwai, Professor & Dean, JIT Jahangirabad 3

  • 16. CRT Construction: Screen 10/2/2017 16 REC 101 Unit IV by Dr Naim R Kidwai, Professor & Dean, JIT Jahangirabad • CRT Screen is formed by coating phosphor material to inside of the screen. When electron beam strikes, electrons in the phosphor material go to higher energy level and return to original statae while emitting the visible light (Glow). • The glow may persist for some time (ms to second) and may be of colour Red, Blue , Green or White depending on the material. • Phosphors are insulators. Secondary emission electrons are collected by a graphite coating “aquadag” around the neck of tube. • Post deflection acceleration is provided by helix of resistive material deposited inside of tube between deflection plate and screen with starting point at ground while ending point at aquadag (12 KV) • Thus electrons leaving deflection plates finds continuous acceleration before striking screen

  • 32. Digital Storage Oscilloscope (DSO) • DSO store and analyses the signal in digital form instead of analog. The signal is sampled and converted into digital form using ADC (Analog to digital converter) into binary form. To avoid aliasing, sampling frequency should be greater than Nyquist rate. • DAC is used to display on CRT or use a raster type digital display. • Most DSO sample with 8-bit resolution (1 in 255 or 0.4% resolution). If DSO can store 4000 samples it is said to have 4000 word memory or 4K memory • DSO have interpolation facility which improves display. • DSO’s high cut-off frequency is normally one fourth of sampling rate. Ex. 25 MHz DSO with sampling rate 100 M Samples/s • DSO’s use either real time sampling or equivalent sampling (as in sampling oscilloscope) 10/2/2017 32 REC 101 Unit IV by Dr Naim R Kidwai, Professor & Dean, JIT Jahangirabad
  • 33. DSO Applications Auto set : Normally DSO’s have automatic selection of time and amplitude setting for best waveform display and display the settings Multichannel display: Normally DSO’s have four or more new and stored waveform display. Waveform Processing :Normally DSO’s have DVM, Digital frequency meter, and time measurement circuits. Two cursors are employed to select two points on waveform. Vrms, Vp-p, f, tr, T, pulse width, duty cycle etc. can be measured and displayed. Pre-Triggering and Post-Triggering: DSO’s can be used to display pre- trigger and post-trigger portions of the waveform. It is possible because input waveform is continually processed and stored. Zoom and Restart : Some DSO’s provide zoom and restart facility. It is essentially addition method of time delay selection. 10/2/2017 33 REC 101 Unit IV by Dr Naim R Kidwai, Professor & Dean, JIT Jahangirabad
  • 34. DSO Applications Glitch and Runt Catching : High sampling rate DSO’s can catch Glitches (spikes) which are missed in normal CRO/ DSO. A runt is special glitch which is not large to produce triggering. A maximum/ minimum detector is employed in some DSO’s for the purpose. Baby Sitting Mode: Some waveform transits occur once in long duration. DSO can be put in baby sitting mode in which waveform is sampled/recorded continuously so that at any instant when anomaly is detected, many previous cycles are stored to be analysed later. Roll Mode: Many quantities can vary slowly over a longer period of time. DSO time base can be adjusted to give long sampling duration, samples are stored and played back at a faster speed . Documentation / Printing: DSO’s has storage and printing facilities. 10/2/2017 34 REC 101 Unit IV by Dr Naim R Kidwai, Professor & Dean, JIT Jahangirabad
