2. Q1. Through which terminal does current flow into the DMM?

Current is defined as the flow of electrons which is negatively charged and
electron flow from positive terminal to negative terminal. So that, we can
conclude that current flow into the DMM is from positive terminal to negative
terminal.


5.0 Experiment: The Oscilloscope & Function Generator

1. CH1 signal values:

i. Voltage per division = 200 mV
ii. Voltage peak-to-peak = 1.21 V
iii. Time per division = 0.5 ms
iv. Signal frequency = 1.00 KHz

2. Press AUTOSET button again. What can you observe from the displayed signal?
What can you conclude on the function of AUTOSET button?

The autoset button on the oscilloscope is pressed. If everything is connected
properly, we can see two sine-wave traces a yellow one corresponding to the
input sine-wave and a blue one corresponding to the divider voltage.

We can conclude that an AUTOSET button has function, which captures a
waveform and then sets up the display to give a reasonable graph. This will be
one of your best friends as you try to learn how the oscilloscope works. Typically,
we will use the Autoset to get the preliminary measurement. However, we will
often need to make adjustments to the settings in order to look more carefully.





Procedure

4.0 Experiment: DC Power Supply & Digital Multimeter

1. The DC power supply is turned on. The minimum and maximum voltage and
current is recorded in Table 4.1:
2. The voltage for CH1 is set to 5 V. digital multimeter is turn ON and set to direct
voltage (V=). The RANGE button is pressed a few times until the direct voltage
range shown a suitable reading. The voltage for CH1 is checked by connecting the
red output connector to the red multimeter terminal and black output connector
to black multimeter terminal.

CHANNEL 1: 5.00 V

3. The voltage for CH1 is set to 10.5 V. The multimeter is set to check direct current
(mA). The RANGE button is pressed a few times until it reaches the appropriate
range. The output switch is turned ON. The current for CH1 is checked.

CH1 current = 3.15mA



5.0 Experiment: Resistance, Voltage and Current Measurements

1. Any power in the circuit is disconnected to be measured
2. Leads positive and negative/ground terminals is connected at the digital
multimeter (DMM). Measure resistance before placing a resistor or component in
a circuit is the best.
3. 2W (two-wire resistance measurement) is selected.
4. Manual ranges of 100 , 1 k , 10 k, 100 k, 1 M, 10 M, or 100 M is
selected:





Resistance measurement (two-wire).


5. 5 different resistors that you have on the table is measured and the expected and
measured resistance values is listed down in Table 5.1.
6. DMM probes are placed parallel to the target component to measure the
voltage-drop:


Voltage measurement with the DMM. Note the location of where the leads attach to the DMM.










7. DMM probes are placed in-between (bridging) two points to measure current:

Current measurement using the DMM.




5.0 Experiment: The Oscilloscope & Function Generator

1. The oscilloscope is powered on and wait for confirmation. English language is
selected. Then any button to go to main menu is pressed.
2. CH1 probe tip to Output probe is connected from Function Generator and
alligator clip
with black clip respectively:


Connecting the function generator to the oscilloscope



3. The function generator is set to 1.0kHz signal with sine waveform.
4. AUTOSET button is pressed. The signal appear on the oscilloscope shall similar to
the
signal as shown in figure below:



5. CH1 signal values is observed and recorded.

6. CH1 Vertical Scale Knob is rotated to set vertical scale 2V/div. The amplitude of
the
signal become smaller and more cycles of signal appear:







7. Again AUTOSET button is pressed. The displayed signal is observed and the
function of AUTOSET button is concluded.
8. ACQUIRE button is pressed. Side screen button is pressed to select Average.
Waveform is obtained shown in figure below:


















Discussion

Q1 Discuss on the function of these buttons on oscilloscope:

a) ACQUIRE

When ACQUIRE Menu button is pushed it displays various acquisition mode options
where we can select the Average option to see the effects of varying the number
of running averages on the waveform display. Averaging reduces random noise and
makes it easier to see detail in a signal. In the example below, a ring shows on the
rising and falling edges of the signal when the noise is removed.


b) MEASURE
The function of MEASURE button to access automatic measurements. When the
MEASURE button is pushed we can see a wide selection of measurement
possibilities from the menu at the right side of the screen. By scrolling through this
menu, we should be able to select a frequency measurement and an amplitude
measurement that will be applied to the active channel. we can see that the
automated measurements give a peak-to-peak
amplitude of 1.21 V and frequency of 1.00 kHz.
