I had a quick question about the development of my waveforms and then testing the readout on an oscilloscope.
I created a 50Hz waveform using Audacity. I then saved the waveform on SD card and applied that waveform to an AC generator. When I hooked up the oscilloscope to the generator, I recieved something far greater than 50Hz. Is this an error on my part?
What was this “AC Generator” thing?
How did you “save the waveform”? Audacity does not “Save” audio files, it Saves Audacity Projects. To create a normal audio file you need to “Export” an audio file (see here for more info. http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Audacity_Projects )
But only if it is played back with exactly the same sample rate as the Audacity “Project Rate”, set in the lower left corner of the Audacity main window.
