Catalog Description: Laboratory exercises constructing basic interfacing circuits and writing 20-100 line C programs for data acquisition, storage, analysis, display, and control. Use of the IBM PC with microprogrammable digital counter/timer, parallel I/O port. Circuit components include anti-aliasing filters, the S/H amplifier, A/D and D/A converters. Exercises include effects of aliasing in periodic sampling, fast Fourier transforms of basic waveforms, the use of the Hanning filter for leakage reduction, Fourier analysis of the human voice, digital filters, and control using Fourier deconvolution. Lectures cover principles explored in the lab exercises and design of microcomputer-based systems for data acquisitions, analysis and control.

Topics covered: Laboratory exercises constructing basic interfacing circuits and writing LabVIEW programs for data acquisition, storage, display, and control. Use of the IBM PC microcomputer running the Windows XP operating system and a subsystem containing a dedicated processor, analog and digital I/O, timers, and memory. Circuit components include operational and instrumentation amplifiers, anti-aliasing filters, the sample-and-hold amplifier, A/D and D/A converters. Exercises include the timing of external events, digital interfacing with handshaking, effects of aliasing in periodic sampling, fast Fourier transforms of basic waveforms, the use of the Hann filter for spectral leakage reduction, Fourier analysis of the human voice, digital filters, and control using Fourier deconvolution. Students perform ten laboratory exercises working in groups of two and then individually write five long and five short laboratory reports. General list of topics include:
