In the  previous article  on generating a sinusoidal waveform using an Oscilloscope, it was proposed that there are THREE fundamental steps on displaying, plotting, analyzing and stabilizing a waveform, which are the following basic Oscilloscope functions: Horizontal Vertical Trigger FIG: Lissajous Figures - source: wikipedia Now, lets ask some of the very basic questions in order to understand "Why Oscilloscope?" and the motivation behind its use in Electronics: NOTE - The topics and questions marked in color 'Blue' are covered to a certain extent in this post - i.e. 'Oscilloscope-102'. While, the topics covered in 'Red' are more covered in the section 'Oscilloscope-103' and 'Oscilloscope-104'. - Why do we use an Oscilloscope? Why NOT use something simple, like an Ammeter which measures Electric Current? [Using analog oscilloscope as an example.] - What is an Oscilloscope, an explanation?  Types of Oscilloscopes? - Brief History, Impor...
