Question

You're about to make a measurement with an oscilloscope when you find that the trace appears to be very weak on the screen. Which of the following controls would you adjust to make the trace appear brighter? A. The focus control B. The level control C. The intensity control D. The slope control

Answer 1

The correct option is;

C. The intensity control

Step-by-step explanation:

The trace is the visible lines displayed on a CRT formed by the electron beam movement.

The brightness of the displayed trace can be adjusted by increasing or reducing the intensity control as the sweep of the analog oscilloscope is increased or decreased

The sweep of an oscilloscope is an indication of the speed with which the trace is allowed to sweep across the screen of the oscilloscope while being visible. The sweep is measured in seconds per division.

Answer 2

C. The intensity control

Step-by-step explanation:

The focus adjust the sharpness of the trace. The Intensity knob adjusts the brightness of the trace by adjusting the potential of a grid controlling number of electrons reaching the screen. The level control varies the voltage required to generate a trigger. Slope control determines whether the trigger point is on the rising or the falling edge of a signal.

The correct option is therefore the intensity control.
