I varied the drive power to maintain a constant pendulum amplitude.
The pendula's magnets were immersed in a water in order to reduce all the Qs for convenience.
This was because my function generator has very poor resolution, and,
with low Q, equilibrium and decay are obtained quickly.
function generator has very poor resolution
The Qs were found by fitting the free decay to an exponential. I
wish to compare the response width to my free decay Q values. How
does one do this?
My question was how to extract from the data*** of the response the Q
defined by the narrowness of the response in order to compare w/ the
exponential free decay definition.
