105 - Lab Assignments
-
Week 1 - Measuring Voltage
-
Week 2 - Sensor Dynamics
Data Collection
-
Be sure that you have
read and understood the introductory lessons on measurements
and measuring voltage
before you come to lab.
-
Be sure that you have
read and understood the material on time
constants.
-
Do this lab exercise:
-
You will need these files
to take measurements and store the data in a file:
-
Analyze your data and
do that for homework to hand in Monday. Click
here for the detailed assignment.
-
Week 3 - Learning About
the Oscilloscope and Function Generator.
-
An Introduction to the
Oscilloscope (and the Function Generator)
-
Another sensor - the Pressure
Sensor (and you will learn about some auxiliary equipment including a pump
motor and a flow rate sensor.
-
Week 4 - An Introduction
to Frequency Response/Filters
-
Filter
Appreciation Day. This exercise will let you experience a filter,
and will introduce you to some of the reasons you need to know about op-amps.
-
Week 5 - Second week on
requency Response and Filters
-
Going back to the pressure
sensor, we will look at some details of that signal.
-
Do not disconnect the
isolation amplifier from the filter. Use the same circuit for the
portion of the lab on "Filtering a Sensor Output".
-
Filtering
a Sensor Output
-
Week 6 - Exploring Operational
Amplifier Filters
-
Week 7 - Exploring Fourier
Concepts
-
Week 8 - Exploring Fourier
Concepts - 2
-
Week 9 - No Lab - Fall
Break
-
Week 10 - LabVIEW Introduction
-
Week 11 - Moving Toward
a Useful LabVIEW Thermometer.
-
Week 12 - Modifying the
LabVIEW Thermometer - Under Construction
-
You will save data to
a file that can be loaded into a spreadsheet, and you will build a LabVIEW
file that measures and displays temperature.
-
Week 13 - Data Across
the Network - 1
-
Remote
Viewing in LabVIEW. In this problem, when it says to "go to a
different computer", you may have to go somewhere else on campus.
There are several computer labs in Dana that you can get to. You
want to be able to view your application running across the network.
This way is the simplest way to get data across the network as long as
you don't want to transmit any data the other direction.
-
Network
data transmission - An introduction to using TCP/IP for information
transmission. This link takes you to a general page for both the
server and the client. You should work on the server today if time
permits. Click
here for a slightly more detailed description, including making a sub-vi.

Weeks 14&15 - Data
Across the Network - 2
-
Network
data transmission - This is the server-client lab. Today you
should work on the client vi in LabVIEW.
