+Difficulties:
+    The most difficult part of this lab was setting up the variable voltage source. We ran into several problems, namely manipulating the input voltage into a 12 bit number that could be output. 
+    We rearranged the given formula and accounted for outputting a 16 bit number as a 12 bit number. We also had to make sure that the types were correct when manipulating the voltage and doing
+    calculations.
+    
+Analysis:
+    Resistors)
+        Our resistors were all very close to their ideal values. They weren't perfect because they are physical systems and have a built in error of around 1% due to 
+        manufacturing defects and temperature variations. They all seemed to be operating within that range. 
+        
+    Voltage)
+        The main error for measuring voltage came from our output being a quantized version of an analog output. It can never be perfect. If we get a reading that is on the edge of 
+        a voltage cutoff, it will be slightly off. That being said, all of our measurments were very close.
+        
+    Current)
+        Current was where we had our largest variations, this was moslty due to our multimeter having a 0.02 mA variance. Even when disconnected the multimeter read 0.02 mA. The other variances
+        were from differences in resistor values and voltage, which impact the current.
