myDAQ Measurement:

• Measure the individual resistor values with the NI ELVISmx DMM ohmmeter
• Measure the actual +15V voltage when connected to the circuit
• Measure the two currents with the NI ELVISmx DMM ammeter
• Follow along with the video clip below to confirm correct operation of your measurement setup:

Comparison:

• Report percentage difference between calculated values and measured values
• Include screenshot of ammeter for I₂ measurement
