A dual trace oscilloscope is set to operate in the ALTernate. The control input of the multiplexer used in the y-circuit is fed with a signal having a frequency equal to

The two inputs of a $$CRO$$ are fed with two stationary periodic signals. In the $$X$$-$$Y$$ mode, the screen shows a figure which changes from ellipse to circle and back to ellipse with its major axis changing orientation slowly and repeatedly. The following inference can be made from this.

The probes of a non $$-$$ isolated, two-channel oscilloscope are clipped to points $$A, B, $$ and $$C$$ in the circuit of the adjacent fig. $${V_{in}}$$ is a square wave of a suitable low frequency. The display on $$c{h_1}$$ and $$c{h_2}$$ are as shown on the right. Then the ''signal'' and ''Ground'' probes $${S_1},\,\,{G_1}$$ and $${S_2},\,\,{G_2}$$ of $$c{h_1}$$ and $$c{h_2}$$ respectively are connected to points.

The time/div and voltage/div axes of an oscilloscope have been erased. A student connects a 1kHz, 5V p-p square wave calibration pulse to channel-1 of the scope and observes the screen to be as shown in the upper trace of the fig. An unknown signal is connected to channel -2 (lower trace ) of the scope. If the time/div and V/div on both channels are the same, the amplitude (p-p) and period of the unknown signal are respectively.
