1. OBJECTIVES
Write the objectives of this lab in your own words. Do not plagiarize the lab handout.
2. DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
2.1 Average Value of an Arbitrary Waveform
(Answer 1)
Here is an example on how to use the Microsoft Equation Editor 3.0. You can also go to
http://www.mathtype.com and download a trial version of MathType which is an enhanced
version of the Microsoft Equation Editor 3.0:

2.2 AC RMS Value of an Arbitrary Waveform
(Answer 2)
2.3 RMS Value of an Arbitrary Waveform
(Answer 3)
2.4 Theoretical Values for Built-in and Arbitrary Waveforms
(Answer 4)
2.5 Measured Values for Built-In and Arbitrary Waveforms
(Answer 5)
2.6 Comparison of Equipment Accuracy
(Answer 6)
3. DISCUSSION
In separate paragraphs, discuss problems encountered during the lab and explain any
discrepancies between measurements and theoretical (predicted) results. Discuss sources of
error.
4. CONCLUSION
In one paragraph, summarize the objectives accomplished by the experiment and give feedback
on how to improve the experiment.
