Convert the measured voltage to equivalent peak and RMS values which gave 0.4V and 0.3V. The oscilloscope had to be disconnected from the function generator‚ with the VOM inserted instead‚ giving a AC voltage of 0.209 V. This oscilloscope was again connected to the function generator and the period of the wave form counted 2.5 divisions. This was then converted to period
