Question

A throttle position sensor waveform is going to be observed. At what setting should the volts per division be set to see the entire waveform from 0 volts to 5 volts using a DSO with 8 voltage and 10 time divisions?

Answer 1

1 V / div

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:

- The vertical scale has eight divisions.

- If each division is set to equal 1 volt, the display will show 0 to 8 volts.

- This is okay in a 0 to 5 volt variable sensor such as a throttle position (TP) sensor.

- The volts per division (V/div) should be set so that the entire anticipated waveform can be viewed.
