- | Measure the transfer characteristic (DC gain) of the chopper amplifier by applying DC voltages between about -2 V and +2 V to the input and measuring the output. This can be done manually using waveform generator W1 with a DC wave shape and setting the offset. Be sure to take sufficient data to determine the linear and nonlinear ranges of the transfer characteristic. To reduce data taking time, try using the waveform generator to provide a very low frequency (100 Hz) triangle signal with 0V offset. For example, a 2V amplitude setting will give outputs between +2V and -2V, respectively. | + | Measure the transfer characteristic (DC gain) of the chopper amplifier by applying DC voltages between about -2 V and +2 V to the input and measuring the output.
