Lab 4

Purpose:

The purpose of the lab was to familiarize ourselves with the data acquisition unit, labview, and github. In addition, gain experience with writing online lab notebooks and open science.

Procedure:

Required materials:

wave generator

data acquistion unit (DAQ)

jumper wires

1. I forked the repository and clone the Lab 4 folder from github.
2. I connected the DAQ to the computer with a USB cord and the DAQ to the wave generator. Using the the program InstaCal, I verified if the DAQ was working properly with the wave generator. I jumped the connectors 1 to 21 and 2 to 3 on the DAQ. I ran the analog test in InstaCal. The test produced a square wave function.
3. I opened the example labview provided from the github Lab 4 files. I created a

It looks like you didn't finish editing this notebook entry. In your notes section you have listed you ran into an error. Specifying what the error is and how you fixed it would be useful to know.
