Experimental measurement of measure RC time from oscillator_1.png

To calculate measure RC time from oscillator_2.png from data:
1- set the potentiometer at 3 or more positions (you can do just the minimum, which is 3):
      - a low-frequency position, which should look like this:
              measure RC time from oscillator_3.gif
      - a high-frequency position, which should look like this:
              measure RC time from oscillator_4.gif
     - and a mid-range frequency position that is about between the two above.
2- For each case, apply formula: measure RC time from oscillator_5.png
   for example, the top says:

In[4]:=

measure RC time from oscillator_6.png

Out[4]=

measure RC time from oscillator_7.png

Or, measure RC time from oscillator_8.png

The bottom one says:

measure RC time from oscillator_9.png

measure RC time from oscillator_10.png

Or, measure RC time from oscillator_11.png

3- Average measure RC time from oscillator_12.png of the three cases. For those who want more rigorous result, do a linear regression:
measure RC time from oscillator_13.png
but it is not required.
