Cables
The 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.
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.
Measurements
1. Set trim pot value such that the output voltage of the op amp is equal to 2.0V when the input voltage is +1.0V.
Take a screen shot of the input and output voltage as a function of time, displaying at least 3 cycles. Remove Rf from the circuit. Measure and record the resistance between pins 1 and 2. Measure the output voltage at the following input voltages:
0V, +/-1V, +/-2V, +/-3V, +/- 4V, and +/-5V.

Discussion Section
Compare the gains found in Analysis Section, Modeling Section, and the measured results.
Explain any discrepancies
Explain 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)?
