A.        Introduction to Instruments and Measurements
Before beginning this lab, be sure that you have read the Lab Prepfor an explanation of how to use the various instruments.
1.     Measure DC voltage with the DMM.
a.     Attach the power supply +5 V outputs to the DMM inputs.
b.     Launch the ELVIS II+ DMM and select DC Voltage.
1.         Press Run and record the reading below, including units.
2.         Press Stop.

2.         Measure DC voltage with the oscilloscope.
1.         Launch the ELVIS II+
2.         Enable Channel 0.
3.         Ensure the following settings.
•           Probe—10x
•           Coupling—DC
•           Scale—2 Volts/Div
•           Vertical Position—0
•           Timebase—50 us/Div
•           Trigger Type—Immediate
•           Trigger Source—Chan 0 Source
•           Horizontal Position—50
•           Acquisition Mode—Run Continuously
1.         Connect the oscilloscope probe from the oscilloscope to the +5 V output (main probe to +5 V and ground to GND).
2.         Press Run and read the voltage on the oscilloscope. Record your reading with the appropriate unit in engineering notation.

1.         Press Stop.
3.         Measure resistance with the DMM.
4.         Remove a 1 kohm resistor (color bands are brown, black, red, gold) from the parts kit. The first three bands indicate the value of the resistor and the fourth band indicates the accuracy of the resistance. A gold band indicates that the measured value should be within ±5% of the specified value.
5.         Switch the DMM to ohms (Ω) and measure the resistor value by clipping the probes to each end of the resistor.
6.         Press Start and record the measured value and the calculated range (1 kohm ±5%) including units.
