ELEC 243 Lab
Introduction
The instruments we have used so far
(DMM, oscilloscope, function generator)
are very good at what they do
(measure voltages and currents,
produce and display waveforms)
but can seldom be made to do
anything
beyond what they were designed to do.
This week we will begin to use the
programmability of the Lab PC,
along with its data acquisition capability,
to create
flexible
new instruments
to perform tasks that our
conventional ones cannot.
