At the ideal setting, slight flickering of the LED may
be observed. If the LED lights up brightly, the signal
is overloaded.
•
Note down the resonance voltage of the coil U
and the corresponding resonant frequency ν
(see Fig. 6).
•
If an oscilloscope is used the resonance voltage
can be read directly from the scope screen.
•
If 3B NETlog™ is being used, exit oscilloscope
mode and save the results. TH table of meas-
urements displayed can be displayed graphically
by clicking the appropriate button and the peak
can then be marked by means of the cursor. The
resonance voltage for the coil U
played.
•
Repeat the measurement for various frequencies
(in 5 MHz-steps).
