How to use the Virtual Oscilloscope in TINACloud?

In this tutorial video you can learn about how to use the virtual Oscilloscope in TINACloud.

In practice we very often use an oscilloscope to measure, analyze and debug circuits in the time domain. So, it seems obvious that a simulated virtual oscilloscope can be used in circuit simulation as well.

The simulated oscilloscope is very useful when you want to adjust some component values of small circuits and want to see the effect of the changes immediately, in order to fine-tune your circuit.

First, load the circuit Collpitts.tsc from the TINA Examples folder.

Next, invoke the Oscilloscope from the T&M menu, then press the Run button.

As you can see the Out1 signal appears.

You can use the controls to make the curve bigger and more detailed.

By default, the oscilloscope is in the “Auto” i. e., free running mode.

To get a steady state image you can enable triggering as follows:

Set the Trigger Mode to Normal
Set Trigger Source to Out1
Set the Trigger Level to 300m.

With the controls of the Oscilloscope you can make a lot of changes on the displayed waveform. For example you can change the default rising edge triggering into falling edge triggering. You can also bring in the Vout signal or export the display into a diagram.
