Cathode Ray Oscilloscope
Definition : Definition
The Cathode Ray Oscilloscope (CRO) is a versatile electrical instrument used for displaying, measuring, and analyzing waveforms and various other electrical phenomena. It functions as a fast X-Y plotter, displaying input signals versus time or other signals. The CRO is typically divided into four sections: display, vertical controllers, horizontal controllers, and triggers. Probes are often utilized for input and enable the analysis of waveforms by plotting amplitude along the X and Y axes.
With applications in radio, TV receivers, and laboratory research and design, the CRO plays a significant role in modern electronics. Its accuracy, stability, and ease of operation make it an ideal general-purpose laboratory instrument, capable of handling a broad range of frequencies.
