This course has 3 main subsections:
1- Techniques to transform analog signals into a number that will be manipulated by computer algorithms. You will work with commercial analog to digital conversion boards developed by National Instruments and learn a language (Labview) commonly used to design data acquisition modules in measurement test stands for a variety of applications.
2- Analog manipulation of signals from a variety of sources. Our ultimate goal will be to manipulate and measure the signal emitted from a photodiode.
3-Special project, where you will use the skills developed towards a new application. You are welcome to submit a proposal, that reflects your interests. You will present your work in a mini-symposium organized during the last week of classes.
Grading Procedure
Your grade will be determined on the basis of your laboratory reports and your final project. The critical analysis of your results and the progress in developing laboratory skills are the key elements to achieve a good grade. In addition, you have to keep up with the lab schedule and return your work report/analysis assignment promptly.
