E4A04
How is compensation of an oscilloscope probe performed?
-
A
A square wave is displayed, and the probe is adjusted until the horizontal portions of the displayed wave are as nearly flat as possible
-
B
A high frequency sine wave is displayed, and the probe is adjusted for maximum amplitude
-
C
A frequency standard is displayed, and the probe is adjusted until the deflection time is accurate

E4A05
What is the purpose of using a prescaler with a frequency counter?
-
A
Amplify low-level signals for more accurate counting
-
B
Multiply a higher frequency signal so a low-frequency counter can display the operating frequency
-
C
Prevent oscillation in a low-frequency counter circuit
-
D
Reduce the signal frequency to within the counter's operating range
E4A06
What is the effect of aliasing on a digital oscilloscope when displaying a waveform?

C
Calibration of the vertical scale is no longer valid
-
D
Excessive blanking occurs, which prevents display of the waveform
