Physics307L F08:People/Gibson/Oscilloscope Lab Summary

1 Brief summary of what you did (linking to the lab manual page is OK) F08:People/Gibson/Notebook/070827&oldid=145541 First Paragraph.

2 Add links to all wiki pages that contain your notebook entries. This is likely only one page. F08:People/Gibson/Notebook/070827&oldid=145541 My lab notebook

3 Report your value for the fall time using AC coupling. My fall time calculated was 16.88ms however, I found out that I was incorrectly using the cursors to calculate this.
 * 1) * Include error bars!
 * 2) * Explain how you measured this (briefly)
 * 3) What did you learn?

How to use the oscilloscope to obtain certain measurements that may or may not be important to my research. I am no longer confused as to how to figure out the fall time. I looked at several other values that people were measuring and then looking at the webpage linked in my notebook about the actual fall time, and then tried to determine where the error was coming from... perhaps unshielded cables? I don't think anything could be improved it was a really good intro lab.
 * 1) * It's OK if you didn't learn anything. But include things you are still confusing.
 * 2) What did you explore outside of the standard lab procedure?  Anything interesting?
 * 1) What could make the lab better next year?
