The core is an Arduino UNO (ATmega328P, 5 V, 16 MHz). All firmware resides in a single source file (LR_meter_final_vol2b.ino) compiled and deployed via the Arduino IDE (SW-REQ-001, SW-REQ-002). The firmware controls the following hardware blocks (see HCR-LRMETER-002): Resistance measurement : Auto-ranging voltage divider using four precision reference resistors (2 kOhm, 20 kOhm, 200 kOhm, 1 MOhm) switched via digital pins D8-D11. Midpoint voltage read on A2. Inductance measurement : LC ring-down method. D6 charges the inductor, LM393 comparator converts oscillation to square wave on D12. Half-period measured by pulseIn(). User interface : 16x2 I2C LCD (PCF8574, address 0x27). TEST button on D4, MODE button on D5. Optional buzzer on A3. Remote interface : SCPI command set over USB Serial at 9600 baud. ADC diagnostic mode : Optional potentiometer on A0 for ADC verification (Mode 4). - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1.1 Operating Modes - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The device has five operating modes, selected by the MODE button (D5).

Auto-ranging selects the Rk that places the ADC result closest to 512 (mid-scale), maximising linearity and accuracy. Inductance (LC resonance ring-down method): f = 1 000 000 / (2 * avg_T_half_us) [Hz] L = 1 / (C * (2 * pi * f)^2) [H] where C = FIXED_CAPACITANCE = 2.0e-6 F (measured and updated during commissioning per Appendix B of SRS-LRMETER-002). - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1.3 Error Conditions - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +-----------------------+------------------+--------------------------------+ | Condition | Display message | Trigger | +-----------------------+------------------+--------------------------------+ | Open circuit / no DUT | "OPEN / NO PART" | ADC <= 5 | | Short circuit | "SHORT CIRCUIT" | Rx < 10.0 Ohm + buzzer on A3 | | Out of range | "OUT OF RANGE" | Rx > 2 000 000 Ohm | | No LC oscillation | "NO OSCILLATION" | pulseIn() returns 0 | +-----------------------+------------------+--------------------------------+ +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | SECTION 2 -- SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS COMPLIANCE (SRS references) | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ All software requirements in SRS-LRMETER-002 are met.

There are no user-defined classes, structs, templates, or OOP constructs. All persistent state is maintained in module-level static variables declared at file scope or inside functions. The design pattern is an event-driven cooperative state machine embedded within the Arduino cooperative loop() paradigm. The loop() function: 1. Polls debounced button states every iteration (~10 ms). 2. Detects falling-edge events and dispatches measurement actions. 3. Manages two-level mode/substate machine for non-blocking display. 4. Calls the SCPI parser on every iteration (non-blocking guard). - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 3.2 Module Dependency Diagram - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - setup() +-- InitializeDisplay() +-- [pin configuration: OUTPUT / INPUT_PULLUP / INPUT] +-- showReadyScreen() loop() +-- DebounceButtons() | +-- digitalRead(BUTTON_TEST_PIN) | +-- digitalRead(BUTTON_MODE_PIN) | +-- IsModeButtonPressed() --> mode = (mode + 1) % 5 +-- IsTestButtonPressed() --> dispatch by mode | +-- [Mode 1: Resistance] | +-- MeasureResistance() | +-- AutoScaleDetermineRangeFromADC() | | +-- AutoScaleSelectResistor(r) [x4 ranges] | | +-- ReadOversampledADC() [x4 ranges] | +-- ReadOversampledADC() [final read] | +-- CalculateResistance() | +-- DisplayResistance() | +-- [Mode 2: Inductance] | +-- MeasureInductance() [8 pulse cycles] | +-- DisplayInductance() | +-- [Substate 0/1/2: showReadyScreen() on timer expiry] +-- [Substate 3: analogRead(A0), update LCD continuously] | +-- ProcessSCPICommand() +-- MeasureResistance() [on MEAS:RES?] +-- MeasureInductance() [on MEAS:IND?] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 3.3 State Machine - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Two-level state machine: Level 1 -- mode (uint8_t, 0-4): Controls the operating mode.

Step-by-step: STEP 1 -- Initialise search. bestRange = -1 (no valid range yet) bestDeviation = 999999.0 (impossibly large) STEP 2 -- For r = 0, 1, 2, 3: 2a. AutoScaleSelectResistor(r): Drive APPLY_VOLTAGE_PIN (D7) HIGH. Drive RES_PINS[r] OUTPUT LOW (Rk to GND). Set all other RES_PINS[] to INPUT + LOW (true High-Z, no pull-up leakage). delayMicroseconds(100) -- settling time. 2b. ReadOversampledADC(ANALOG_RES_PIN, 16): Accumulate 16 analogRead(A2) values in uint32_t. Return uint16_t average (0-1023). 2c. If adc in (80 ... 944): deviation = |adc - 512| If deviation < bestDeviation: bestDeviation = deviation bestRange = r STEP 3 -- If bestRange == -1 (no range produced a valid window result): Read adc once more with currently active range. If adc > 944 --> bestRange = 3 (DUT very large: use 1 MOhm) Else --> bestRange = 0 (DUT very small: use 2 kOhm) STEP 4 -- AutoScaleSelectResistor(bestRange) -- activate winner. Return bestRange. Valid window rationale: ADC = 80 --> Vout = 0.39 V --> Rx = Rk * (5/0.39 - 1) = 11.8 * Rk ADC = 944 --> Vout = 4.61 V --> Rx = Rk * (5/4.61 - 1) = 0.085 * Rk Outside this window the voltage divider is heavily loaded toward one rail, degrading accuracy. A different range will give a better result. Accuracy at mid-scale: When Rx = Rk: ADC = 512, Vout = 2.5 V. One ADC LSB = 5.0 / 1024 = 4.88 mV. Effective resolution at mid-scale = Rk / 512 per LSB. With 0.1% reference resistors, total error < 0.5% after calibration, well within SYS-REQ-005 (target +/-1.5%). - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 5.2 Oversampling Algorithm - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - SRS reference : SW-REQ-007b Implemented in : ReadOversampledADC() Purpose: Reduce ADC thermal noise and quantisation uncertainty by averaging 16 consecutive readings, providing effectively ~2 additional bits of resolution. Formula: ADC_averaged = SUM(analogRead() * 16) / 16 Overflow analysis: Maximum accumulator value = 1023 * 16 = 16 368. Stored in uint32_t (max 4 294 967 295) -- no overflow risk. Noise reduction: Averaging N samples reduces white noise by sqrt(N). N = 16 --> noise reduction = sqrt(16) = 4x Equivalent to 2 extra effective bits: 10 bits + log2(16)/2 = 12 bits effective resolution. Timing: ATmega328P ADC clock = 16 MHz / 128 = 125 kHz. One conversion = 13 ADC clocks = 104 us. 16 samples = 16 * 104 us = 1.664 ms per call. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 5.3 Inductance Measurement Algorithm - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - SRS reference : SW-REQ-008, SYS-REQ-002 Implemented in : MeasureInductance() Physical principle: An LC tank (unknown Lx || fixed C = 2.0 uF) resonates at: f = 1 / (2 * pi * sqrt(L * C)) Rearranging for L: L = 1 / (C * (2 * pi * f)^2) Step-by-step: STEP 1 -- Initialise. numPulses = 8 totalPulse = 0.0 (double accumulator) validCount = 0 STEP 2 -- For i = 0 ... 7: 2a. digitalWrite(D6, HIGH) -- charge inductor. 2b. delay(5) -- 5 ms energy storage. 2c. digitalWrite(D6, LOW) -- release, start ring-down. 2d. delayMicroseconds(150) -- bypass initial transient. 2e. pulse = pulseIn(D12, HIGH, 8000) -- measure LM393 output HIGH time = T/2 in microseconds. -- timeout 8000 us = 8 ms. 2f. If pulse > 10 us (noise rejection threshold): totalPulse += pulse validCount++ 2g. delay(10) -- short inter-pulse pause. STEP 3 -- If validCount == 0: return 0.0 (no oscillation). STEP 4 -- avgPulse = totalPulse / validCount [us] STEP 5 -- freqHz = 1 000 000 / (2.0 * avgPulse) [Hz] STEP 6 -- L = 1 / (4 * pi^2 * freqHz^2 * FIXED_CAPACITANCE) [H] STEP 7 -- Return (float)L. Measurement range (C = 2.0 uF): L = 80 uH --> f = 12.6 kHz (T/2 = 40 us) L = 30 mH --> f = 650 Hz (T/2 = 770 us) Both extremes fall comfortably within the 8000 us pulseIn() timeout. Accuracy: A 1% error in FIXED_CAPACITANCE causes a 1% error in L. Averaging 8 pulses reduces timing jitter proportionally. Target: +/-5% (SYS-REQ-005). Note on precision: Intermediate values (totalPulse, avgPulse, freqHz, L_henry) are computed in double precision to preserve accuracy when computing (2 * pi * f)^2 with f in the kHz range. The result is cast to float before return. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 5.4 Button Debounce Algorithm - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - SRS reference : SW-REQ-012, SW-REQ-013, SW-REQ-014 Implemented in : DebounceButtons(), IsTestButtonPressed(), IsModeButtonPressed() Purpose: Filter mechanical contact bounce (<5 ms per HCR-LRMETER-002) on both push buttons, using a non-blocking millis()-based approach so that loop() is never stalled. Debounce step-by-step (identical for both buttons): STEP 1 -- testReading = digitalRead(BUTTON_TEST_PIN). STEP 2 -- If testReading != lastTestRaw: lastDebounceTest = millis() -- reset stability timer. lastTestRaw = testReading. STEP 3 -- If (millis() - lastDebounceTest) > DEBOUNCE_DELAY (50 ms): If testReading != testSteady: testSteady = testReading -- accept new stable state. Falling-edge detection (called from loop() after DebounceButtons()): Static lastState variable holds the previous steady state. pressed = (lastState == HIGH) AND (steadyState == LOW). lastState = steadyState. Returns true exactly once per physical button press.

Prevents parallel leakage paths that would corrupt the ADC reading. Input : rangeIndex -- int, 0..3. 0 = 2 kOhm (D11) 1 = 20 kOhm (D10) 2 = 200 kOhm (D9) 3 = 1 MOhm (D8) Output : void. Pre-cond. : APPLY_VOLTAGE_PIN must be configured OUTPUT in setup(). Post-cond. : RES_PINS[rangeIndex] is OUTPUT/LOW. All other RES_PINS[] are INPUT/floating (no pull-up). APPLY_VOLTAGE_PIN is HIGH. Algorithm : 1. digitalWrite(APPLY_VOLTAGE_PIN, HIGH). 2. for i = 0..3: if i == rangeIndex: OUTPUT + LOW. else: INPUT + LOW (disables pull-up). 3. delayMicroseconds(100) -- ADC settling. SRS ref. : SW-REQ-007f, HW-REQ-003. Design note : On ATmega328P, setting a pin LOW before switching to INPUT is required to disable the internal pull-up resistor. Failure to do so would introduce a parasitic 20-50 kOhm pull-up to VCC on the inactive range pin, causing measurement errors especially on the 1 MOhm range. ____________________________________________________________________________ 7.2 ReadOversampledADC ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Signature : uint16_t ReadOversampledADC(uint8_t analogPin, uint8_t numSamples = 16) Purpose : Acquire numSamples ADC readings from analogPin and return the integer arithmetic mean. Reduces ADC noise floor by a factor of sqrt(numSamples). Input : analogPin -- uint8_t. Analog pin index (0 = A0, 2 = A2). numSamples -- uint8_t. Number of samples. Default = 16. Output : uint16_t. Averaged ADC value, range 0-1023. Pre-cond. : analogPin must be valid. numSamples must be 1-255. Post-cond. : Returns integer average; no side effects on hardware. Algorithm : uint32_t sum = 0; for i = 0..numSamples-1: sum += analogRead(analogPin); return (uint16_t)(sum / numSamples); SRS ref. : SW-REQ-007b. Design note : Default function argument (numSamples = 16) uses C++11 default parameter syntax, which is supported by Arduino C++ (C++11 subset). See Section 13. ____________________________________________________________________________ 7.3 AutoScaleDetermineRangeFromADC ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Signature : int AutoScaleDetermineRangeFromADC(void) Purpose : Test all four ranges and select the one that places the ADC reading closest to mid-scale (512) within the valid window [80, 944]. Input : None. Uses global ANALOG_RES_PIN, RES_PINS[]. Output : int. Best range index 0-3. Pre-cond. : setup() complete. APPLY_VOLTAGE_PIN is OUTPUT. Post-cond. : Selected resistor is active. APPLY_VOLTAGE_PIN is HIGH. Algorithm : See Section 5.1, Steps 1-4. SRS ref. : SW-REQ-007a, SW-REQ-007c, SW-REQ-007d, SYS-REQ-001. ____________________________________________________________________________ 7.4 CalculateResistance ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Signature : float CalculateResistance(uint16_t adcValue, float knownR_ohms) Purpose : Compute the DUT resistance from the ADC reading and the active calibrated reference resistor value. Input : adcValue -- uint16_t. Averaged ADC reading (0-1023). knownR_ohms -- float. Calibrated Rk in ohms from KNOWN_RESISTORS[range]. Output : float. Rx in ohms. Returns 9 999 999.0 if adcValue <= 5 (open circuit). Pre-cond. : knownR_ohms must be positive and non-zero. Post-cond. : Returns Rx or sentinel 9 999 999.0. No hardware effects. Algorithm : if adcValue <= 5: return 9999999.0 (open circuit guard) Vout = adcValue * 5.0 / 1024.0 Rx = knownR_ohms * (5.0 / Vout - 1.0) return Rx SRS ref. : SW-REQ-007e. Design note : The divisor 1024.0 (not 1023.0) matches the ATmega328P ADC convention: VCC = 1023 counts, step size = VCC/1024. The adcValue <= 5 guard prevents division by near-zero Vout. ____________________________________________________________________________ 7.5 MeasureResistance ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Signature : float MeasureResistance(void) Purpose : High-level wrapper that performs a complete auto-ranged resistance measurement and returns the result in ohms. Input : None. Output : float. Rx in ohms. Returns 9 999 999.0 for open circuit. Pre-cond. : setup() complete. Post-cond. : Active reference resistor from auto-scale remains active after function returns. Algorithm : range = AutoScaleDetermineRangeFromADC() adc = ReadOversampledADC(ANALOG_RES_PIN, 16) return CalculateResistance(adc, KNOWN_RESISTORS[range]) SRS ref. : SW-REQ-007, SYS-REQ-001. ____________________________________________________________________________ 7.6 MeasureInductance ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Signature : float MeasureInductance(void) Purpose : Perform an 8-pulse averaged LC ring-down measurement.

Pre-cond. : OUT_L_TEST_PIN = OUTPUT. PULSE_IN_PIN = INPUT. Post-cond. : OUT_L_TEST_PIN is LOW after return. Algorithm : See Section 5.3, Steps 1-7. SRS ref. : SW-REQ-008, SYS-REQ-002. Design note : double precision used for intermediate computation to preserve accuracy when calculating (2*pi*f)^2 with f in the range 650 Hz - 12.6 kHz. Result cast to float before return, as callers and display functions use float. ____________________________________________________________________________ 7.7 InitializeDisplay ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Signature : void InitializeDisplay(void) Purpose : Initialise the I2C LCD and display the startup splash message "LR Meter Ready" for 1200 ms. Input : None. Uses global lcd object. Output : void. LCD initialised, backlight on, display cleared. Pre-cond. : Wire.h initialised (done by lcd.init() internally). I2C address must match: 0x27 (or 0x3F for some modules). Post-cond. : LCD ready for normal operation. SRS ref. : SW-REQ-009a. Design note : I2C address 0x27 is hard-coded in the lcd constructor. If the display does not respond, try 0x3F. The PCF8574 vs PCF8574A variant determines the address. An I2C scanner sketch can identify the correct address. ____________________________________________________________________________ 7.8 DisplayResistance ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Signature : void DisplayResistance(float resistanceOhms) Purpose : Format a resistance value with auto unit scaling and write to LCD line 0. Trailing spaces overwrite previous content. Input : resistanceOhms -- float. Value in ohms. Output : void. LCD line 0 updated. Line 1 not affected. Algorithm : See Section 5.6. Uses dtostrf() for formatting. SRS ref. : SW-REQ-009d, SW-REQ-009e. ____________________________________________________________________________ 7.9 DisplayInductance ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Signature : void DisplayInductance(float inductanceHenry) Purpose : Format an inductance value with auto unit scaling and write to LCD line 1. Trailing spaces overwrite previous content. Input : inductanceHenry -- float. Value in Henries. Output : void. LCD line 1 updated. Line 0 not affected. Algorithm : See Section 5.6. Uses dtostrf() for formatting. SRS ref. : SW-REQ-009d, SW-REQ-009f. ____________________________________________________________________________ 7.10 UpdateDisplay ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Signature : void UpdateDisplay(float rOhms, float lHenry) Purpose : Clear LCD and update both lines simultaneously. Convenience wrapper calling DisplayResistance() and DisplayInductance(). SRS ref. : SW-REQ-009d. ____________________________________________________________________________ 7.11 showReadyScreen ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Signature : void showReadyScreen(void) Purpose : Display the standard idle screen: Line 0: " MODE TEST" Line 1: " Ready" SRS ref. : SW-REQ-009a, SW-REQ-009b. ____________________________________________________________________________ 7.12 DebounceButtons ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Signature : void DebounceButtons(void) Purpose : Update debounced stable states of TEST and MODE buttons using non-blocking millis()-based logic. Input : None. Reads BUTTON_TEST_PIN and BUTTON_MODE_PIN. Output : void. Updates static testSteady and modeSteady. Algorithm : See Section 5.4. SRS ref. : SW-REQ-012, SW-REQ-014. ____________________________________________________________________________ 7.13 IsTestButtonPressed / IsModeButtonPressed ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Signatures : bool IsTestButtonPressed(void) bool IsModeButtonPressed(void) Purpose : Detect a falling-edge press event on the respective button. Returns true exactly once per physical press event. Input : None. Uses testSteady / modeSteady. Output : bool. true = button was pressed since last call. Algorithm : See Section 5.4 (falling-edge detection). SRS ref. : SW-REQ-013. ____________________________________________________________________________ 7.14 ProcessSCPICommand ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Signature : void ProcessSCPICommand(void) Purpose : Read one SCPI command from the serial buffer, parse it case-insensitively, execute the action, and send the response. Non-blocking: returns immediately if no data. Input : None. Reads from Serial (USB/UART). Output : void. Prints response to Serial. Algorithm : See Section 5.5. SRS ref. : SW-REQ-010, SW-REQ-015. Design note : SYST:ERR? always returns "No error". The firmware does not maintain a persistent error queue. This is a known limitation. Future versions may store the last error condition in EEPROM. ____________________________________________________________________________ 7.15 setup ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Signature : void setup(void) [Arduino framework entry point] Purpose : One-time hardware and software initialisation at power-up. Sequence : 1. Serial.begin(9600). 2. delay(100) -- USB bridge stabilisation. 3. Serial.println("LR Meter v2.1 starting..."). 4. InitializeDisplay(). 5. pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT); digitalWrite HIGH. 6. pinMode(BUTTON_TEST_PIN, INPUT_PULLUP). 7. pinMode(BUTTON_MODE_PIN, INPUT_PULLUP). 8. pinMode(APPLY_VOLTAGE_PIN, OUTPUT); LOW. 9. For i=0..3: pinMode(RES_PINS[i], INPUT); LOW. 10. pinMode(OUT_L_TEST_PIN, OUTPUT); LOW. 11. pinMode(PULSE_IN_PIN, INPUT). 12. pinMode(BUZZER_PIN, OUTPUT); LOW. 13. showReadyScreen(). 14. mode = 0; substate = 0. SRS ref. : SW-REQ-009a, HW-REQ-003. ____________________________________________________________________________ 7.16 loop ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Signature : void loop(void) [Arduino framework main loop] Purpose : Main program loop. Handles buttons, state machine, display timeouts, ADC test mode, and SCPI commands. Sequence : 1. DebounceButtons(). 2. If IsModeButtonPressed(): advance mode, update LCD. 3. If IsTestButtonPressed(): dispatch action by mode. 4. Substate machine: check timer, update ADC test display. 5. ProcessSCPICommand(). 6. delay(10) -- prevents CPU hogging; sets loop cadence. SRS ref. : SW-REQ-009, SW-REQ-011, SW-REQ-014, SW-REQ-015. Design note : The 10 ms loop delay at step 6 defines the minimum responsiveness of the UI. Button presses are sampled every ~10 ms, well within the 50 ms debounce window. SCPI responses are returned within ~10 ms of the command being received (satisfies SW-REQ-015). +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | SECTION 8 -- EXTERNAL LIBRARY SELECTION AND JUSTIFICATION | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ The firmware uses exactly two external libraries as required by SW-REQ-002. No Adafruit libraries are used in this version. See design notes below. ____________________________________________________________________________ Wire.h -- Arduino I2C Core Library ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Source : Arduino framework (bundled with Arduino IDE). Maintained by the Arduino project. https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/Wire Version : Bundled with Arduino IDE 2.x (Wire v1.0). Purpose : Provides the I2C (TWI) hardware abstraction layer for the ATmega328P. Required by LiquidCrystal_I2C.h to communicate with the PCF8574 I2C expander on the LCD backpack module. Justification : Wire.h is the official, Arduino-standard I2C library. It is the only correct and stable choice for I2C on the ATmega328P within the Arduino framework.

Purpose : Provides a high-level API for the 16x2 HD44780-based LCD module with PCF8574 I2C backpack. Functions used: lcd.init() lcd.backlight() lcd.clear() lcd.setCursor(col, row) lcd.print(value) Justification : This is the most widely used, well-tested library for PCF8574-backed I2C LCDs on Arduino. It is available directly from the Arduino Library Manager, has a stable API, and supports both 0x27 and 0x3F I2C addresses. No alternative is required for this application. The SRS (HW-REQ-008) also lists Adafruit SSD1306 as an option for OLED displays. This is not used in the current LCD variant but would be substituted if an OLED is fitted. The OLED variant would require: #include #include Both available via Arduino Library Manager. Adafruit SSD1306 is maintained by Adafruit Industries and has commercial-grade quality and documentation.
