Hello all,
We utilized a differential attenuator to display the i-v characteristic of a 1n4005 diode. However, I was a bit confused as to how I could determine what the y-axis was calibrated as. I know that the vertical axis is actually current, but is there some sort of tactic for determining whether it is mA, A, etc? I have a printout of the oscilloscope's screen and it says:
[itex]1-500\stackrel{m}{v}[/itex] and [itex]2-20.0\stackrel{m}{v}[/itex]
