1.1 Introduction and objectives
Welcome to the world of instrumentation and measurements. Things
you learn from this laboratory will provide a good foundation for
instrumentation and electronic measurements. The purpose of this
first laboratory exercise is to help you familiarize with laboratory
facilities, procedures, basic measurement techniques, and Agilent VEE
Student/Pro programming.
The specific objectives are:
• Observe the demonstration of Agilent VEE that you will use in your
laboratory exercises.
• Learn how to construct basic electrical circuits using breadboard.
• Learn how to properly acquire voltage measurements in circuit.
• Learn the resistor color code scheme necessary to read resistor
values and tolerances.
