Any value displayed now
will
equal the deviation from 20V.
APPLICATION 5
REQUIREMENT: Display
the
input error
voltage for
an
operational amplifier by measuring the
dc
output error. Gain

SCALING
The multimeter will now divide the measured
input
by the
gain of the
op
amp and
display the input error voltage.
Make a series
of measurements
in a
noisy environment. Speed of measurement is
not
important.
Display
only the deviation in
volts.
Allow for extra settling between readings:
