➄ The Signal Generator is set to output 3.00 V, triangle AC waveform, at 60.00 Hz.
➅ The Scope is set to show Output Voltage on the vertical axis at 1.000 v/div and Current (Analog
A) on the horizontal axis at 0.100 v/div.
➆ Arrange the Scope display and the Signal Generator window so you can see both of them.
PART II: Sensor Calibration and Equipment Setup
• You do not need to calibrate the Power Amplifier.
➀
Place a ten ohm (
Ω
) resistor in the pair of component springs
nearest to the banana jacks at the lower right corner of the
AC/DC Electronics Lab Board.
➁
Connect banana plug patch cords from the output of the
Power Amplifier to the banana jacks on the AC/DC Electron-
ics Lab Board.
➂ Turn on the power switch on the back of the Power Amplifier.
Part III: Data Recording – Resistor (10
Ω
)
➀ Click the “ON” button ( ) in the Signal Generator
window.
➁ Click the “MON” button ( ) in the Experiment Setup
window to start monitoring data. Observe the Scope display
of Voltage and Current. Wait a few seconds, then click the
“STOP” button ( ).
➂ Click the “OFF” button ( ) in the Signal Generator window. Turn off the power switch on
the back of the Power Amplifier.
