PSPICE for Thevenin and Norton Equivalents

In this lab we learned how to use PSpice to evaluate Norton Equivalents.

Operational Amplifier

With this lab I gained a bit more experience with a few of the uses of op-amps. The concern here was mainly with gaining some empirical information about their gain property. We played around with different values of resistance along the feedback channels and interpreted the results.

Oscilloscope 101

This lab was essentially an introduction to oscilloscopes. We found out how to measure waveforms and how to interpret the onscreen data. I also learned a little bit about function generators.

In the end, we used our new-found knowledge to measure two "mystery signals" and make sense out of them.

AC Signals #1

With this lab we measured the phase difference between AC signals that had the same frequency.

We assumed that each channel was set to 2V/div and that the horizontal time-base is set to 10 microsec/div. We measured the periood and determined the RMS value for both channels. Then we found the frequency.
