Student Operating Oscilloscope in Electronics Laboratory, San Francisco State College (Alternate View) (Updated last month)

You can view this bundle in the SFSU Over the Years collection area.

A student adjusts controls on an oscilloscope in an electronics laboratory at San Francisco State College, observing waveform patterns on the display. Additional testing equipment and another individual working in the background reflect an active laboratory environment focused on signal measurement and analysis.
