• Measure the output response of the series RC circuit for a variety of inputs, including a step, a combination of a step and a ramp, and a sinusoid
• Compare results to those computed as part of pre-lab assignment
1 Procedure
Setup
• Function generator: Utility → Output Setup → Load → High Z
.Trigger Mode → Basic
• Oscillator: Trigger Menu → 2.Edge Trigger (Rising Edge)
3.Trigger Settings → DC Coupling
• RC circuit: R = 1 KΩ, and C = 1 µF
Part 1: Step Response (1 pic + bonus)
• Function generator:
Square wave Vpp: 1V frequency: 100Hz
• Oscillator:

2 Deliverables
Yout should submit a post-lab report containing the following:
1. Objectives
2. Theoretical background
3. Experiment procedures
4. Experimental results (numerical results, figures)
5. Error analysis, and discussion
6. Conclusion
Each group needs to submit only one report.
