Purpose: To provide an introduction to
electronic signal acquisition, sensor and actuator technologies, and
computerized control of experimental hardware.
Goals:
- To be able to understand schematic diagrams, and to
produce simple circuits involving soldering and discrete components.
- To know standard interface handshaking and timing
protocols.
- To be able to design and construct a low-noise
instrumentation amplifier.
- To be able to construct a simple push-pull
programmable power supply.
- To design data processing algorithms using a visual
programming environment.
- To handle sensor input through virtual instruments
in a visual programming environment.
- To design and test a simple integrating proportional
temperature controller, or a similar feedback control system.
