- How to Oscilloscope
a) In order to see the sine wave completely and clearly, I had to center the wave using the position knobs. I first set the vertical knob then the horizontal knob. I also had to set the intensity and focus knobs until the line was clear to see. I guess that turning up the volume will make the wave visibly bigger.

First I had to turn on the oscilloscope using the power button. Next, there is a lever that switches between ground AC and DC controls. We flip it to ground first in order to center the wave, then we use DC to see the actual wave. We never use AC. Then we have the mode switch which can be set to view channel 1, channel 2, both simultaneously, or both channels added together. The vertical and horizontal position knobs change where we see the wave on the screen. Intensity and focus knobs change the clarity of the wave. The X axis on the screen shows the passage of time, while the Y axis shows the amount of Volts. So the entire graph shows volts over time.The Volts/Div knob controls how how many volts are between each horizontal line on the oscilloscope screen. Similarly, the Time/Div knob changes the amount of time between the vertical lines on the screen. The trigger knobs allow us to see the waves as they stand still. The mode should be set to either auto or TT-V or and the source should be changed to either Ch1 or 2 depending on the circuit. The level knob should be turned until you can see the wave completely still. The probes should be clipped to the positive end of the breadboard.
As I turn the potentiometer, I can change the amount of current going into the oscilloscope from 0 to 100%.
