Some of you have only briefly used 'scopes in your first year lab courses, while others may already be adept with them due to research experience. You should learn something either way, as the capabilities of scopes are truly impressive.$\mu$$\pm2$ text/html 2025-09-24T17:23:07+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.physlab-wiki.com/phylabs/lab_courses/phys-211-wiki-home/introductory-lab-scope-skills/uncertainty-infodump?rev=1758748987&do=diff TMI on Uncertainty Now, there's a bit of an issue we have to deal with when we're trying to deal with measurements from the oscilloscope. What's the uncertainty on them? The device can't have infinite resolution, so how do we figure out what to use?$2^8$$50 V / 2^8 = 195$$\approx 200$$\mu$$\mu$$\mu$$\pm$$\delta t = 0.004 * $$ + 0.0001 * |$$| + 0.6 $$\ge$
