Description
- Measure the output response of the series RC circuit for a variety of inputs, including a step, a combination of a step and a ramp, and a sinusoid
- Compare results to those computed as part of pre-lab assignment
1 Procedure
Setup
- Function generator: Utility → Output Setup → Load → High Z
.Trigger Mode → Basic
- Oscillator: Trigger Menu → 2.Edge Trigger (Rising Edge)
3.Trigger Settings → DC Coupling
- RC circuit: R = 1 KΩ, and C = 1 µF
