When setting up a lab scope to measure a waveform that ranges from 0 to 15 volts; if there are eight vertical divisions, what must the voltage level be set at to display the entire waveform?
A)100 millivolts
B)500 millivolts
C)1 volt
D)2 volts

To display the entire waveform that ranges from 0 to 15 volts across eight vertical divisions, each division must represent a range that can accommodate this spread. By dividing 15 volts by 8 divisions, you get approximately 1.875 volts per division. Therefore, setting the voltage level at 2 volts per division (option D) is the closest and most appropriate setting to display the entire waveform without clipping.
