ConvDVMP02
In Problem ConvDVMP01 you imagined going to your local Electronics Flea
Market and purchasing a digital voltmeter (DVM) that has a range of -3v
to +3v, and which displays voltages in increments of .01v. You answered
two questions about that meter.
-
How many digits is the
voltmeter?
-
How many bits are in the
A/D converter in the DVM?
You go back to the Electronics Flea Market and they have another meter
- more expensive - and this other meter has the same range but displays
voltages in increments of .001v - a factor of 10 better than the first
meter. Answer the following questions about the second meter.
-
How many digits is the
new voltmeter?
-
How many bits are in the
A/D converter in the DVM?
-
Is the second meter worth
more than the first meter? Would you pay more for it?
