Introduction
o Should put the work in context—what was the purpose of the lab? What are
other ways to measure the same quantity? What might be the advantages and
disadvantages of this approach?
Experimental Method
o This section should describe the entire instrumentation system, including a
block diagram of the system, any circuits used (with component values
specified), screenshots of any GUIs created, a description of algorithms
performed by LabVIEW or MATLAB, and descriptions of the calibration
procedure.
Results

include an assessment of error. This section should include figures and
charts, as appropriate to the system.
Conclusion
o Summarize the work and suggest ways the system could be improved.
References
o If any reference material was used it should be properly cited.
