Oscilloscope Introduction

{{incomplete}}

This is the content required for an introduction to our <nowiki>[[Introduction for::Oscilloscope]]</nowiki> - '''reading this does NOT replace the mandatory session with a [[tutor]]!''' It will make it a lot quicker though ;-)

If you are ready for this introduction, please reach out to the following tutors:

Let's begin! First off, make sure you have read the machine's wiki page and manual.

== ⚠️ Safety ==
As with any electric device, avoid moisture or exposure to liquids, don't operate with opened/damaged housing.

[[PPE|Personal protection]]: No specific personal protection equipment needed

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Dangers !! Precautions
|-
| Electric Shock || Do not touch exposed circuits when measuring signals on an open device or PCB.
Ensure proper grounding (see Grounding Issues below).
Only use insulated probes and handles.
Be extremely careful with exposed mains voltage.
|-
| Grounding Issues || Modern oscilloscopes are grounded through the protective earth conductor of the power cord. Make sure the instrument is grounded properly and the power cord is not damaged.
Do not attempt to operate the oscilloscope "floating" by disabling it's grounding.

The ground of all input terminals (and thus the ground lead of any connected probe) is equal to the instrument's ground, which is connected to mains earth.

Be very careful when connecting the ground clip of a probe to a non-isolated circuit - see more detailed examples below.

|-
| Short Circuits || Be careful when using multiple probes: all probes share the same ground and connecting their ground pins to different voltages effectively creates a dead short between those voltages.
|-
| High Voltages || Never apply signals higher that the oscilloscope's and probe's ratings. Understand probe's attenuation. Know your circuit's voltage levels. Do not measure mains voltage.
|}

== Display ==

The oscilloscope screen consists of a grid of divisions and displays the measured electrical signals as an X-Y plot. The horizontal X-Axis represents the time and the vertical Y-Axis represents the voltage.
[[File:Osci display.png|none|thumb|442x442px]]

== Probes ==
- Attenuation (1x / 10x)
[...]

== Usage ==
1. Plugin the power cord to an outlet.
2. Press the power button.
3. Connect a probe to a channel terminal.

Kaplan2539:

Oscilloscopes display voltage signals as they vary over time. It is possible to determine the wave-form, frequency, amplitude and noise level of the input signals. Multiple inputs allow for measuring phase differences between signals. Thus, oscilloscopes are very useful to debug electronic circuits.

Laser Cutter Material Settings

2025-03-26T22:05:55Z

Kaplan2539: /* Laserscript LS6090 (80 W) */

[[File:laser setting tests.jpg|thumb|right|200px|aftermath of a [[plywood]] testing session]]
Unfortunately you can't just calculate the perfect settings based on the '''power''' ("Watts") of a [[Laser Cutter|laser cutter]] because the actually delivered energy is always based on a combination of power and '''''speed''''', which is different for each brand or model of laser cutter. To make things more complicated, 100 % power in a cutting profile is not the same as 100 % power in an engraving profile... 

As there is always some trial and error involved, please share your experience with the others! You can often use experience from other machines as a ''rough'' starting point.

In general, cutting is usually done at 100 % power and the highest speed that will still result in a reliable cut. If 100 % speed still gets you through (e.g. paper or cardboard), you should reduce the power until you find the sweet spot. Besides the power setting, you can influence the invested energy by altering the pulse '''frequency''' - you may want to go lower on flammable materials like wood, where edges might otherwise become black, and higher on plastics like [[Acrylic Glass|acrylic glass]] where you are aiming for a "flame-polished" edge. [https://www.epiloglaser.com/assets/downloads/manuals/zing-manual-web.pdf page 46]

The width of the kerf ''(Schnittfuge)'' also depends on the laser settings and the material you're using and could be important for certain designs. [[User:Sebastian|Sebastian]] recommends to use the "DXF for Laser" [[Fusion 360]] export plugin [https://apps.autodesk.com/FUSION/en/Detail/Index?id=7634902334100976871] and testing different settings for each material so you get tight fitting joints.

== Laserscript LS6090 (80 W) ==

Check '''[[Laser_Cutter#Forbidden_Materials|Forbidden]]''' and '''[[Laser_Cutter#Possible_Materials_(Cutting/Engraving)|Possible Materials]]'''.

* Power range: 1-100 %
* Speed range: 200-400 mm/s ''recommended'' for engraving; higher speeds are achievable according to the [https://hpclaser.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/LS6090-PRO-Data-Sheet-2019a.pdf data sheet] [what is the actual limit??]
* Why look at the '''date'''? CO2 lasers loose power over time! New tubes installed: 2020-01 / ...

If we haven't tried a material yet, these Spaces with similar machines might have:
* looong list of [https://wiki.makeitlabs.com/resource-areas/laser-cutters/retired-lasers/laser-settings-80w MakeIt Labs' "Laser Settings 80W"] (for [https://wiki.makeitlabs.com/resource-areas/laser-cutters/retired-lasers this machine])
*[http://wiki.zurich.fablab.ch/HPC_LS3040 smaller but probably equivalent "HPC"/"Laserscript" model at Fablab Zurich] (also has a less detailed [https://zurich.fablab.ch/2012/09/laser-cutter-hpc/ blog post])
*[https://github.com/madlabuk/madfablab/wiki/laser-cutter still pretty similar model at MadFabLab]
