In the Physics Folder of the Science Workshop Experiment Library, open the document:
Macintosh: “P56 Transistor Lab 3” / Windows: “P56_TRN3.SWS”
The document opens with a Scope display of Analog Output voltage (V) and Analog Channel A
voltage (V) versus Time (msec), and the Signal Generator window which controls the Power
Amplifier.
➤ NOTE: For quick reference, see the Experiment Notes window. To bring a display to the top,
click on its window or select the name of the display from the list at the end of the Display
menu. Change the Experiment Setup window by clicking on the “Zoom” box or the Restore
button in the upper right hand corner of that window.
➄
The Signal Generator is set to output Amplitude = ±0.20 V, AC Waveform = sine, at Frequency
= 300 Hz.
➅
Arrange the Scope display and the Signal Generator window so you can see both of them.
PART II: Sensor Calibration and Equipment Setup
