Try this program. Vary the potentiometer setting as the program is<br />

running. The plot should appear as the changes are made. A constant<br />

voltage will give you a horizontal line on the screen.<br />

Can you suggest a simple experiment that would demonstrate the<br />

use of the A/D converter and the graphics program<br />

There are several simple experiments that you might like to try.<br />

Each involves measuring a voltage that is proportional to the physical<br />

measurement that is being made. For example, you could measure<br />

the voltage across a photocell in changing light conditions, a<br />

voltage across a charging capacitor, or a voltage that is proportional<br />

to temperature.<br />

Wire the circuit shown in Fig. 6-25. In this circuit, you will use<br />

the A/D converter and computer to measure a charging voltage<br />

across a large electrolytic capacitor.<br />

Use the jumper wire to discharge the capacitor, and leave it in<br />

until after you have started the program. Once the program<br />

running, remove the jumper to ground. You should see the voltslowly<br />

increase, as the capacitor is charged. Why does the graph<br />
