Arbitrary Waveform Generator (NI Elvismx Instrument Launcher)ġ. Function Generator (NI Elvisms Instrument Launcher)ġ. One fuse (any rating is fine since it is for simulation only)ġ. One 100 μF, 50 V electrolytic capacitorġ. The calculate values are to be compared with the measured values to check for consistency.ġ. The myDAQ is to be used for data acquisition from the breadboard to the MULTISIM software.

The various output voltage are to be measured. The purpose of this lab exercise is to build a half wave rectifier and a full wave rectifier in MULTISIM and on a breadboard.
