  • The other input to the voltage comparator is derived from the potentiometer whose level is adjustable.
  • When the levels of ramp output of the main time base and trigger level set by potentiometer are equal then the voltage comparator produces a negative or positive output spike at that instant.
  • This spike triggers the delayed time base circuit.
  • The main time base and delayed time base unblanking circuit produces an unblanking pulse during the ramp time of the delayed time base. The unblanking pulse from these is applied to the summing circuit and then applied to the CRT.

44. In Delay time base oscilloscope the delay ensure ________

  1. Lost waveform
  2. No Waveform is lost
  3. High Accuracy
  4. High Brightness

Answer.2. No Waveform is lost

Explanation: 

The delay ensures that no part of the waveform gets lost, In a delayed time base oscilloscope, a variable time delay circuit is used in the basic time base circuit. This allows the triggering of sweep time after the delay time. Thus the delay time is variable. After this, the sweep is triggered for the time (. Then the portion of the waveform for the time gets expanded on the complete oscilloscope for the detailed study.

 

45.  During Delayed time base period, the voltage applied to CRT grid is almost ______ the voltage corresponding to Main time base period.

  1. Twice
  2. Equal
  3. Half
  4. Thrice

Answer.2. No Waveform is lost

Explanation: 

The input to the voltage comparator is derived from the potentiometer whose level is adjustable. The unblanking pulses from MTB and DTB are added by summing circuit and given to the CRT grid. The unblanking pulse of MTB produces a trace of uniform intensity.

But during ramp time of DTB, the addition of two pulses decides the intensity of the trace on the screen. Hence during DTB time, the voltage applied to CRT grid is almost twice than the voltage corresponding to MTB time.

46. The application of delayed time base oscillator is

  1. Used to extend waveform
  2. Rising and falling edges pulse measurement
  3. Both 1 and 2
  4. None of the above

Answer.3. Both 1 and 2

Explanation: 

Applications of Delayed Time Base Oscilloscope

  1. It is used to extend any part of the waveform on the entire screen of the oscilloscope and make it bright to analyze the desired portion of the waveform.
  2. The rising and falling edges of the pulses are investigated with a delayed time-based oscilloscope.

If the input is pulse waveform and leading-edge is used to trigger the delay time. then lagging edge can be displayed to fill the entire oscilloscope screen.

Similarly, if the lagging edge is used to trigger the delay time then the leading edge will be displayed on the entire screen.

If the time delay is perfectly adjusted, then any portion of the waveform can be extended to fill the entire screen.

 

47. A digital storage oscilloscope has _________

  1. 3 modes
  2. 2 modes
  3. 4 modes
  4. 5 modes

Answer.1. 3 modes

Explanation: 

The digital storage oscilloscope has 3 modes of operation:

  1. Roll Mode: This is used to observe the fast varying signal.
  2. Store Mode: It is called refresh mode and is most commonly used.
  3. Hold or Save Mode: This mode is also the commonly used mode.

 

48. _________ stores the captured input signal in a digital mode and displays the signal without further processing.

  1. Delay time base oscilloscope
  2. Dual Beam Oscilloscope
  3. Digital storage Oscilloscope
  4. Dual Trace Oscilloscope

Answer.3. Digital storage Oscilloscope

Explanation: 

  • A digital storage oscilloscope stores the captured input signal in a digital mode and displays the signal without further processing.
  • Most digital oscilloscopes can also be switched between the digital and analog modes.
  • Digital oscilloscopes have many desirable features.
  • They will be more widely used as their cost becomes more competitive or as a part of a data acquisition system.

 

49. In Digital storage Oscilloscope  ______ method of displaying acquired waveform data without waiting for the complete waveform record.

  1. Store Mode
  2. Hold Mode
  3. Role Mode
  4. Time Mode

Answer.3. Role Mode

Explanation: 

In Digital storage Oscilloscope roll mode is a method of displaying acquired waveform data without waiting for the complete waveform record.

Roll mode is the most basic mode of operation which is similar to that of a general-purpose CRO. When an input is applied, the trace is displayed on the screen. A user can use this mode to keep an eye on the waveform and its various characteristics.

 

50. In Digital storage Oscilloscope ______ mode is called refresh mode.

  1. Store Mode
  2. Hold Mode
  3. Role Mode
  4. Time Mode

Answer.1. Store Mode

Explanation: 

  • In Digital storage Oscilloscope store mode is otherwise called refresh mode.
  • In this mode, the input initiates the trigger circuit. This initiates the memory write cycle.
  • The digital data is transferred to the memory when the memory is full, the write cycle stops.
  • Here, using DAC, the memory data is converted to analog and then displayed on the screen when the next trigger across the memory is refreshed.
