This Demonstration simulates the display of an oscilloscope connected to a resistor/capacitor (RC) circuit driven by an offset square wave. You can adjust the view with the various gauges. The lengths of the horizontal and vertical divisions are displayed on the edge of the screen. You can vary all parameters of the circuit among three given values and one unknown value "?".
