CablesThe connections to the Velleman scope are BNC (Bayonet Neill-Concelman) connectors.You will need to use 3 BNC cables with either the alligator clips or the IC clips to make your connections between the scope and your circuit.

Input Voltage SourceUse the sine wave generator on the Velleman scope.Set the amplitude of the sine wave to 5VNote that the amplitude on the Velleman scope is actually peak-to-peak so you should actually make this 3V.Set the frequency of the sine wave to 1000Hz.

Connect BNC cable to function generator (bottom BNC connection). Clip red probe to end of R2. Clip black probe (ground) to end of R1 or R3.Voltage Measurements using OscilloscopeChannel 1:Red probe placed between function generator and R2.Black probe connected to same point as the black wire from the function generator.Channel 2:Red probe placed between output of the LM 324 and the feedback resistor, Rf, or or between output of the LM 324 and R3.Black probe connected to same point as the black wire from the function generator.

MeasurementsMeasure exact values of V+ and V- powering the LM 324 op amp.Discussion SectionCompare the gains found in Analysis Section, Modeling Section, and the measured results.Explain any discrepanciesExplain the major differences between the two PSpice simulations. Compare the averaged positive and negative saturation voltages with the measured values of the power supplies. Does the saturation voltage depend on the amplifier gain (within experimental error)?Does the saturation voltage agree with that specified in the LM 324 data sheet (find on-line)?
