Hello friends.
I just got a question.
How a measurement device like a scope recognizes the Sine waves from Cosine waves? I mean as soon as you connect the prob of a scope to a cosine wave the waveform becomes like a cosine having its "Max" domain at the zero for reference point or for a sine wave for instance the scope recognizes that at zero or reference point the waveform is a sine having the domain value of "zero"?
How a scope recolonizes the reference point for a waveform? The frequency is the number of perfect cycles per one second. If a scope measures the cycle of a wave for one second there is nothing to guarantee that the start point has been exactly the start point of the waveform itself (for instance the maximum value for a cosine wave).
The same question for 2 square waves having 90 degrees out of phase.
Hope it makes sense to you!
Thanks
