 +Waveform generator 1 should be configured for a 1 KHz triangle wave with volt amplitude peak-to-peak and 2V offset. The Single ended input of scope channel 2 (2+) is used to measure the stabilized output voltage at the collector of Q<sub>4</sub> ( negative inputs 1= and 2- should be connected to ground).
  
 ===== Procedure: ===== ===== Procedure: =====
  
 Plot the output voltage (as measured at the collector of Q<sub>4</sub>) vs. the input voltage. At what input voltage level does the output voltage stop changing i.e. regulate? This is called the "drop out" voltage. For input voltages above the drop out voltage, how much does the output voltage change for each volt of change at the input? The change in Vout / change in Vin is called line regulation. Connect a variable resistor from the output node to ground. With the input voltage fixed (i.e. connected to the fixed Vp board power supply), measure the output voltage for various settings of the resistor. Calculate the current in the resistor for each setting. How does the output voltage vary vs. output current? This is called load regulation. Plot the output voltage (as measured at the collector of Q<sub>4</sub>) vs. the input voltage.

 All the emitters can be tired to ground ( pins 3,7,10,13 ). Devices Q<sub>1</sub>, Q<sub>2</sub> and Q<sub>3</sub> can be connected in parallel and serve as Q<sub>2</sub> in figure 2. Q<sub>4</sub> and Q<sub>5</sub>can be used for Q<sub>1</sub> and Q<sub>3</sub>in figure 2. An individual device such as a 2N3904 etc. can be used for Q<sub>4</sub> in figure 2. The 3 to 1 emitter area ratio will result in an output voltage very nearly 1.2 volts if R<sub>1</sub> and R<sub>3</sub> are both equal to 2KΩ (when R<sub>2</sub> is 100Ω). All the emitters can be tired to ground ( pins 3,7,10,13 ).
