Run the simulation again and jot down the reading here and use your mathematical skills try to determine the relationship between the reading of the DMM and the peak voltage shown by the oscilloscope and explain in the space below what the DMM measures (Peak voltage, Average voltage, sqrt(2), 1/sqrt(2), or what?).Full wave bridge rectifier circuit.
Turn off the simulation, connect a Digital Multi-meter (DMM) in your schematic to measure the voltage output of the function generator in AC mode, then adjust the OFFSET value of the function generator back to 0 volt. Based on the settings of the function generator up to step 8, write the equation of the sine wave generated by the function generator with the output signal of the function generator signified by Vout 10. Describe with your own words what an offset of a signal is: 9.
Adjust the OFFSET value of the function generator to 1.0 volt and observe the result with the oscilloscope.
Write down with your own words in the space provided below, how to get the cursors and how to get your reading: 8. Jot down the voltage differences measured by the cursors as shown in the Waveform Parameters Window, this is the peak-to-peak voltage (Vpp) of the Use the cursors of the oscilloscope, position one of it so that it intersects the bottom most peak (minimum) of the waveform and then position the second one so that it intersects the top most peak (maximum) of the waveform.
Turn off the simulator then on the schematic diagram, change the color of the wire connecting the function generator to the oscilloscope to light green and then run the simulator and see that the color of the trace on screen is the same as the color of the wire in the schematic. Write down with your own words in the following space how to get the cursors and how to get your readings: 6. Use the cursors of the oscilloscope (you can use your mouse to drag them across the screen from the left edge of the screen), mark the beginning and the end points of the waveform and jot down the time differences measured by the cursors, this is the period of the waveform as displayed in the Waveform Parameters Window). Describe with your own words in the space below how you achieve this in a manner that can be understood by a non-technical person: 5.
Run the simulator and adjust the oscilloscope settings (double-click on it to show the screen) so that only one cycle of the waveform fits the full screen, and the displayed waveform is stable (not jumping around). Double-click on XFG1 to show the properties screen and set the function generator so that it produces sinusoidal wave at a frequency of 1000 Hzand an amplitude of 1.0 volts peak (1 Vp) 4. Your circuit should be similar to the following diagram: XSCI XFG1 Гt Tra 3. Wire the output signal of the function generator to the input channel-A of the oscilloscope and wire a Ground component to both the function generator and oscilloscope (to their ground terminals). Create a new MULTISIM design with one function generator and one oscilloscope in the diagram.
