9 Volt Battery Test
Items needed: 9 Volt battery. Signal input leads.
In the following hands-on exercise, you will set up a channel to monitor a 9 Volt battery in Realtime. Next, a data capture
will be set up to record when the battery voltage is applied. Finally, the captured data will be reviewed.
Note: The steps below are for the NDV1 or IHV1 voltage modules installed in Slot 1 (Channel 1).
Please contact Astro-Med if you have any questions regarding the use of other modules.
