Took this with my DSO. Just thought I'd share.
So some details: The 100V next to Ch2 means 100V per division. It's set to 5ms per division horizontally. As is typical for an oscilloscope it's a graph of voltage vs. time. Although that is not all it can graph. There are other options which I won't go into in this post.
This DSO (digital storage oscilloscope) makes screen capture easy. Just plug in a USB stick into the USB slot and press the print screen button. Then take out the USB stick and plug it into your favorite PC and you get a BMP pic of your screen cap.
So the AC outlet shown here is 127.18 Vrms, 360.36 Vp-p, 184Vmax, -180Vmin. 60.0095Hz frequency.
Just a little fun hooking my DSO directly to a 120VAC outlet and trying out the screen capture to USB stick. Don't try this at home. Unless you know what you're doing.
