Time: 4.30 PM—5.45 PM
Name: -------------—------—------—-------—----- Section: Monday---------—------—--
Tuesday ----------- 7
Wednesday ----- -
Answer the following questions:
3 points
1- What are the units of the number displayed by the CTFM ( Universal Counter)
a) in frequency Mode?------—------—- Resolution-------------—-------
b) in period mode? ------------—------ Resolution-------------—-------
For a 150 KHz signal, would a frequency or period measurement with the CTFM
provide the greater resolution? Explain. [ in other words find uncertainty in the
frequency mode and period mode and compare.]
3 points
2- a) Can you obtain a 1.99 MHz square wave signal from your ( Furction
Generator)?
b) Can you obtain a 5 Volts sine wave signal from your ( Function Generator)
using TTL output?
c) Can you obtain a triangular wave signal having a peak value of 20 volts from
your ( Function Generator)?
2 points

4- Ifyou are asked to measure the voltage of a 35 V battery with DMM ( digital
Multi-meter) with highest sensitivity.
Indicate which of the following statement is true.
a) Function switch on DCV, range 20 V, positive on com and negative on V/Q.
b) Function switch on ACV, range 200 V, positive on V/Q and negative on com.
c) Function switch on DCV, range 200 V, positive on V/Q and negative on com.
d) Function switch on ACV, range 20 V, positive on V/Q and negative on com.
e) Function switch on ACV, range 1000V, positive on V/Q and negative on com

6- Indicate whether the following statements are true or false:
a) The screen of the oscilloscope can provide a voltage against time display--
b) The screen of the oscilloscope can provide a voltage against another
c) Any phenomenon that can be converted into a voltage can be measured
with an oscilloscope-------
d) The screen of the oscilloscope can provide a lissajous figure if the two
channels are connected to the voltage sources and the scope display is
switched to X-Y mode ------
e) Output of a “NOR gate is “ONE” if all inputs are (ZERO) -----
