Partial lecture notes for Chapter 17 are available:
Chapter 17 alone [PDF]
Thusfar, notes for only about half of the chapter are complete. YMMV.

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.

here [PDF]
Read the lab before class if you have time, but there is no need to print it. This lab has recently been modified and may be altered just before class.
