Lab procedure 25 Jan 2007

This lab procedure has two parts, since you are being introduced to some new hardware and software.

Lab introduction, hardware, and software: Read Me First

This document will explain all of the hardware, software, and components you need. You will not get far without it.

Lab procedure: Read Me Second

This document walks you through the lab procedure.

In this lab, you will explore the relationship between current and voltage for three types of devices: a resistor, a capacitor, and a light-emitting diode. This will introduce you not only to basic electronic components, but also the data acquisition software and hardware you will be using in the future.

Finally, the hardware and software for this laboratory, and several more, have been developed here at UA. This is the first semester they will be used in a class. Development and refinement is ongoing, so your (anonymous) feedback will be appreciated and valuable. Leaving anonymous comments on this blog is one possibility.
