Resistance: Given three resistors of different color codes‚ the theoretical resistance can be found by apply the standard color code. Following this value‚ one can find the actual resistance by using the multimeter feature of NI ELVIS by attaching the positive and negative leads of the board to the resistor ends. Once we have a theoretical and actual resistance
