Tin electroplating on nickel coated material

I'll be doing my experiment by measuring the shielding effectiveness of a tin coated over the nickel through electroplating. What particular solutions am I going to prepare for the tin to be electroplated on nickel. Kindly include the required voltage and current requirement for my source, rate of electroplating, quantity or volume of solutions required.

Thank you very much.

You need to do some homework. Tin plate is like saying automobile-Mercedes- Yugo- Ford or? Off of the top of my head, there is sulphate, fluoboric and MSA. There are undoubtedly others. Each has a use and a reason to use that particular one. Another thought, Why should you believe anything that I or someone else says. Your advisor/teacher should offer guidance, but not do all of your research.
