Lissajous figures with the osciloscope
| This is a 3D simulation. Drag to change the angle of viewing. | |
| Sinusoidal voltages are applied to the horizontal and vertical deflection plates, they have the form | |
| V = Asin(2pft + f), where A is the amplitude, f is the frequency and f is the phase. | |
| Deflection plate is red (black) when it is positive (negative). | |
| The screen is viewed from the front directly when the box "Front" is checked. Click a point on the screen will show the coordinates of that point. | |
| The Lissajous figures in some books may look different to those generated here. This is most probably in them the cosine function is used instead, i.e. V = Acos(2pft + f). | |
