atch Week 1 Video Lecture 1: Introduction to Virtual Instruments from the weekly content and the video in this lab assignment on “Introduction to Virtual Breadboarding in MultiSIMâ€
Week 1 Video Lecture 1 – Introduction to Virtual Instruments (Refer to the weekly content)
Please note that the virtual breadboard circuitry in the “Week 1 Video Lecture 2 – Introduction to Virtual Breadboarding in MultiSIM” is incorrect and should be modified. Check this document to correct the circuitry in the video to run the DCR and Connectivity check: Modified Circuit Design
Construct the circuit of problem 1 in the Week 1 Assignment with MultiSIM using 3 Vrms at 60 Hz as your source. Use the Agilent function generator for the source.
Using the Agilent multimeter, measure the voltages across the source and each resistor and fill out the chart below. Do not forget to put units on the chart. Be sure to provide a screenshot of your circuit with the instruments. Note what calculated value matched the Agilent multimeter measurement. Also, use the multimeter to measure RT (hint: remove the voltage source). Provide a screenshot of your measurement.
Calculated
Agilent Multimeter
Tektronix Oscilloscope
VT =
VR1 =
VR2 =
VR3 =
IT =
RT =
Now repeat the measurements using the Tektronix oscilloscope and fill out the chart above (RT is not required). Provide a screenshot of at least one voltage measurement. Note what is required in order to duplicate the Agilent multimeter measurement.
Show the calculated and measured period of the signal from the Tektronics Oscilloscope.
Calculated period:
(source frequency 60 Hz)
Measured period:
Now change the values of R1 given below in the table and use Tektronix oscilloscope to record the measurements. Do not forget to add units in the chart. Take screenshots to show your work for the period measurement as well as for at least one case of R1. The screenshots should show the settings of the Agilent signal generator and o-scope along with the waveforms.
Complete the following chart:
Source frequency 60Hz
Tektronix Oscope Measurement
R1 = 5 kohms
RT =
IT =
VR1 =
VR2 =
VR3 =
R1 = 10 kohms

VR3 =
R1 = 15 kohms
RT =

VR2 =
VR3 =
R1 = 25 kohms
RT =
IT =
VR1 =
VR2 =
VR3 =
Source frequency 100Hz
Tektronix Oscope Measurement
R1 = 25 kohms
VR1 =
Source frequency 200Hz
Tektronix Oscope Measurement
R1 = 25 kohms
VR1 =
Using the initial circuit from step 2 and reviewing the week 1 – video lecture 2, initiate the virtual bread board feature in MultiSIM. Place components and run the DRC and Connectivity Check. Capture a screenshot of your circuit in the 3D Virtual Breadboard view including the results of the DRC and Connectivity Check. There should be zero error for the check.
Based on your measurements, answer the following questions:
Did your calculated and measured values match? If not, why?
Does the multimeter give you the peak, peak-to-peak, or rms measurement?
How did you obtain the same measurement on the Tektronix oscilloscope that you obtained using the Agilent multimeter?
What is the industry practice to report AC measurements? Peak value or RMS value?
Describe the effect of increasing R1 on the total resistance of the circuit.
Describe and explain the effect of RT on the value of IT for a given value of VT.
Does resistance depend on frequency? For a purely resistive circuit, does the voltage or current change as the frequency changes?
What does DRC and connectivity check mean? If there was an error, what did you do to fix it?

I really appreciate the work all your amazing writers do to ensure that my papers are always delivered on time and always of the highest quality. I was at a crossroads last semester and I almost dropped out of school because of the many issues that were bombarding but I am glad a friend referred me to you guys. You came up big for me and continue to do so. I just wish I knew about your services earlier.

You can't fault the paper quality and speed of delivery. I have been using these guys for the past 3 years and I not even once have they ever failed me. They deliver properly researched papers way ahead of time. Each time I think I have had the best their professional writers surprise me with even better quality work. Elite Academic Research is a true Gem among essay writing companies.
Got an A and plagiarism percent was less than 10%! Thanks!
