Question 164

Which of the following is an advantage of an oscilloscope versus a digital voltmeter?

  1. An oscilloscope uses less power
  2. Complex impedances can be easily measured
  3. Greater precision
  4. Complex waveforms can be measuredCorrect answer

Explanation

A digital voltmeter reduces a signal to a single number, usually an average or RMS value, whereas a waveform display plots instantaneous voltage against time so the shape of a complex signal can be seen and measured. Showing that time-varying detail is the advantage.
