 The green squares indicate where to connect the ADALM2000module AWG, scope channels and power supplies. Be sure to only turn on the power supplies after you double check your wiring. The green squares indicate where to connect the ADALM2000module AWG, scope channels and power supplies.

 Having finished construction the Colpitts oscillator check that the circuit is oscillating correctly by turning on both the + and - 5 V power supplies and connecting one of the oscilloscope channels to the output terminal. It may be found that the value of R<sub>3</sub> is fairly critical, producing either a large distorted waveform or an intermittent low or no output. To find the best value for R<sub>3</sub>, it could be replaced by a 1 KΩ or 5 KΩ potentiometer for experimentation to find the value that gives the best wave shape and reliable amplitude. The optimal value for R<sub>3</sub> may change depending on the resonate frequency. Having finished construction the Colpitts oscillator check that the circuit is oscillating correctly by turning on both the + and - 5 V power supplies and connecting one of the oscilloscope channels to the output terminal.
