Design, Construction and Implementation of an Inductance-Meter, Capacitance-Meter with I-V Characteristics Plotter Instrumentation System

Abstract

This paper presents a practical design and construction of an instrumentation system that incorporates three sections of different measuring and characterizing instruments on a single apparatus. These sections include an inductance-meter, a capacitance-meter and an I-V characteristics plotter used for testing, measuring and monitoring electronics components. This instrumentation system was constructed using a PIC 18F452 microcontroller, GLCD, LC oscillator, A/D converter, timer1 module, and a source of power. In operation, the CCP module was configured as the PWM module to generate the graded voltage used for the I-V characteristics plotting. The instrument has been successfully tested and it was able to give the I-V characteristics curve of components like resistors, light dependable resistors and diode of different kinds. In addition, the instrument was able to give the capacitance value of any capacitor and the inductance value of any inductor inserted in it for measurement or calibration. With this instrument, it is easy to measure, calibrate and evaluate I-V characteristics of capacitors, inductors, resistors and diodes before use.
