Picture of Clipping

I did some work with op-amps today in my lab. I figured I'd take a pic off the oscilloscope so those that have never seen it can. As you can see the regular sine wave in the middle is set to 11Vp-p, which is out of the op-amps range. Therefore, the bigger wave, the output, is at 27Vp-p, but with a clipped waveform. Anyway, here is what it looks like.

wow that second pic looks clipped horrible.

wonder if the first picture - showing regular tone + clipped tone

are audibly diffrent to the human ear if they were playing in your car.

Most likely, it was a 1kHz tone from a function generator haha

Did some more today and around 1MHz it turns to a triangle wave. Pretty interesting to see.

I wish I had one of those. Interesting to see though.
