Voltage Measurements Part II

This is lab 4 of 17 in the course

by Enable Education

In this lab, students will take a deeper look at measuring voltage. First students will explore the impact of range and resolution on a voltage measurement. Next, students will learn how to account for signal frequency components when measuring signals. Lastly, students will look at the difference between scanning and simultaneous acquisition when measuring multiple voltage signals
