#MULTISIM LIVE GENERATOR#

With the DMM set to measure AC voltage, measure the output of the function generator by connecting the positive terminal of the function generator to the positive terminal of the DMM and the common terminal (not the negative terminal) of the function generator to the negative terminal of the DMM.Verify that the frequency and amplitude of the displayed sine wave match the values set in the function generator. Measure the frequency (period) and V pp using cursors. You can click вЂSingleвЂ™ to instruct the oscilloscope to produce a stable waveform. On the oscilloscope display, adjust the time scale and/or amplitude scale if needed.Display the output on Ch.A of the oscilloscope by connecting the positive terminal of the function generator to the positive terminal of the oscilloscope and the common terminal (not the negative terminal) of the function generator to the negative terminal of the oscilloscope.Set the function generator to output a 1kHz, 10 V pp sine wave.Construct a circuit consisting of a function generator, a DMM, a ground and an oscilloscope.MultiSimДЇor MultiSim, perform the following steps.

Detailed functions will be shown in EXPERIMENT section. It has 4 analog and 16 digital channels for analyzing both analog and digital signals. The oscilloscope we are going to use for this lab is a Tektronix DPO 4034 Digital Phosphor Oscilloscope, as shown in Figure 2 вЂ“ 2. In addition to the amplitude of the signal, an oscilloscope can show distortion, the time between two events (such as pulse width, period, rise time, and etc), and relative timing between two related signals. Thus, the exact wave shape of an electrical signal can be observed. In most instances, an oscilloscope shows events that repeat with either no change or very slow changes. Usually a two-dimensional graph of one or more electrical potentials is displayed using the vertical or вЂYвЂ™ axis with time along the horizontal or вЂXвЂ™ axis. OscilloscopeДЄn oscilloscope is a type of electronic test instrument that allows observation of constantly varying signal voltages. Detailed functions will be shown in the EXPERIMENT section.ДЇigure 2-1 Function generator III. The вЂOnвЂ™ button will turn each channel on or off, and вЂCH1/CH2вЂ™ button decides if it is a single or a dual channel output. The two arrows right below the numeric keypad can change which digit is to be adjusted. Both frequency and amplitude adjustment buttons are in the same section below вЂRun ModeвЂ™ section, which can be set either by the numeric keypad or by the knob above that keypad. Sine, square and triangle waveforms (3 most used waveforms in this lab) can be selected from Function section. It is able to provide 12 different standard waveforms, with dual-channel capability. The function generator we are going to use for this lab is a Tektronix AFG 3022B, as shown in Figure 2 вЂ“ 1. It is widely used in development, testing and repair of electronic equipment, for example, as a signal source to test amplifiers, or to introduce an error signal into a control loop. They can be converted from one form to another using the following equations:ДЄ function generator is a piece of equipment used to generate electrical waveforms. Special attention must be paid when measuring the voltage or current of an AC circuit, as three different forms of voltage or current may be obtained from a measurement, namely V magnitude or I magnitude, V RMS or I RMS or V peak-to-peak or I peak-to-peak. Other time-varying applications, depending on the application, include the square wave and the triangular wave.ДЄ sinusoidal AC voltage or current is described by its amplitude, frequency and phase, for example,, where A is the magnitude, the angular frequency and is the phase. In AC circuits, the voltage and current sources are time-varying, with the most common being a sinusoidal variation.
