EECS145L provides practical design and laboratory experience with the electronic transducers (sensors and actuators) commonly used to measure and control temperature, displacement, force, sound, light, etc. Operational amplifiers, instrumentation amplifiers, and analog filtering are used to amplify and process the sensor signals before recording. A digital oscilloscope is used for observing waveforms and measuring voltages. Ag(AgCl) skin electrodes are used to record signals from the heart, skeletal muscles, and eyes. Applications include laboratory instrumentation, data acquisition, process control, and biomedical electronics.

 

Each lab station has a PC with the Windows operating system and software and digital oscilloscope for sampling, storage, display, and printout of data values and plots. Computer programming is not required in this course.

 

In performing the laboratory exercises, students will work in groups of 2. Please stay with the same lab partner throughout the semester. Two weeks after the scheduled date of the laboratory exercise, one lab partner will turn in to the TA a full lab report and the other lab partner will turn in to the TA only the answers to the question section. This will alternate so that by the end of the semester each lab partner will have written complete reports for five laboratory exercises and the answers to the question sections for the other five lab reports. (The lowest full lab report grade and the lowest question section grade will be dropped.) The full lab reports are expected to be complete technical reports understandable to an EECS upper division student who has not taken the course.

 

The two midterm exams and the final exam will not only cover the principles and techniques covered in the laboratory exercises and the class lectures, but will also pose problems that require new designs involving those principles and techniques.

6. Grading Policy 

 

40% - Four full written lab reports (including question section) from each student, due according to the course schedule on the last page (five are assigned- lowest grade dropped). Lab partners will write full reports for alternate laboratory exercises.

 

10% - Four short written lab reports (question section only) from each student, due according to the course schedule on the last page (five are assigned- lowest grade dropped). Lab partners will write short reports for alternate laboratory exercises.

 

10% - Laboratory attendance and participation (as observed by TA)

 

20% - Two midterm written examinations (closed book, in class)

 

20% - Final written examination (closed book, exam group 22)

 

Standards for laboratory participation grades are as follows (max 100):

100 for excellent effort beyond the call of duty

90 for putting in the required time and affort

80 for attending but doing significantly less than a fair share of the lab work

<80 as fits the situation

 

For both full and short reports, three points will be deducted for each school day late (no deductions for weekends or holidays). No credit for lab reports turned after the graded reports have been handed back to the students (usually 1-2 weeks after they are due).

 

The two midterm exams and the final exam include design problems that require the student to apply the principles learned in the laboratory exercises and lectures to new design situations.

 

Final letter grades are determined from the total course scores of the undergraduate students only. Then the graduate student letter grades are determined using the same standard. Otherwise, the graduate students taking the course (who generally have better numerical scores) would cause all students to get lower letter grades.

 

Final letter grades are determined using the following guidelines:

1) Undergraduate grade average 2.9.

2) Each letter grade (A, A-, B+, B, B-, etc.) is assigned to approximately equal numerical bands of total course scores.

7. Lab Report Format and Style

 

Both full and short lab reports are to be prepared on 8.5 x 11 inch paper stapled together, including the raw data (or a copy). It is not necessary to use a bound notebook to record your lab data or write your lab report. For each laboratory exercise, one lab partner will prepare a full written lab report (including the question section) and the other lab partner will prepare a short written lab report (question section only). This pattern will alternate for each laboratory exercise so that each student will prepare five full written lab reports their lab partner will prepare five different full lab reports.

 

Throughout your professional career you will be required to write internal reports, papers for research journals, proposals, grant applications, etc. To prepare you for these tasks, one of the purposes of this course to improve your skills in the area of written technical communication.

 

On the first page of your report, write (1) your name (identified as the author), (2) lab section day and time, (3) lab station number, and (4) the name of your lab partner. Three points will be deducted if this information is not present. To make your report easier to grade, number all parts tro correspond to the numbering scheme in the text.

 

Each full laboratory report will be graded on the basis of 100 points and each short laboratory report will be graded on the basis of 25 points. If you want to know how many points were deducted from each section, also include a table with entries for set-up, data and program, analysis, discussion, questions, clarity, and total grade. At the end of the semester, the lowest full lab report and short lab report grades will be dropped.

Following are the major lab report sections (100 points total):

Lateness: Three points deducted for each school day late. Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays do not count.

 

Set-up: A simple block diagram of the experimental setup you used with all essential equipment labeled. A photocopy of the appropriate diagrams from the course book could be included, with any modifications that you made to do the lab exercise.

 

 

Procedure and Data Summary: A clear presentation of your data and how you took it for each procedure section, with uncertainties, as you would find in a published technical journal article. (The "Raw Data" section below would be complete, but need not be as clear or as organized.) Any special or unusual experimental circumstances should be mentioned. This section should contain all the information specified in the textbook and required for the Analysis section without requiring reference to the "Raw Data" section.

 

Analysis: A clear description of how you analyzed the data and the results of your analysis. Include typical error propagation from raw measurements to analyzed quantities. In almost all cases the description will refer to tables and graphs. Remember to label the axes of all graphs with numbers and units, and provide a short title for each graph. Whenever possible, compare the analyzed results with numerical expectations. Reference background material, (e.g. equations from the textbook or numbers from manufacturers data sheets) as appropriate.

 

Discussion and Conclusions: Draw conclusions from your observations, data, and analysis. This section should total at least 500 words (1 page single space typed, 2 pages handwritten) and address the following points:

 

1) The principles demonstrated in each procedure section. Often this only requires stating what is obvious to you, but not necessarily obvious to a colleague reading your report who has not done the laboratory exercise.

 

2) Compare the results of different procedure sections (whenever appropriate)

For example, in Laboratory Exercise 4 compare the bandwidth of the gain = 100 amplifiers with the unity gain buffer amplifier.

 

3) Compare your observations to what you would expect. (Why did you observe what you did?) If a mathematical model is used to describe the behavior of the system, describe how well it agreed with your measurements and give possible reasons for any disagreement.

 

 

4) Discuss general situations where the principles and techniques demonstrated in the laboratory exercise could be used.

 

For example, in Laboratory Exercise 15, discuss how the thermoelectric heat pump might be used in push-pull temperature control.

 

5) Discuss the major components used in the laboratory exercise and the role each played.

 

6) Discuss limitations of the laboratory exercise and how they can be reduced by changing the method or the equipment. For example, in Laboratory Exercise 11, discuss how the accuracy could be improved by using a digital rotary encoder. Or in Laboratory Exercise 15, discuss how the maximum and minimum equilibrium temperatures could be changed by using thermal insulation.

 

Questions: (25 points) Answer all questions posed in the textbook. Any questions answered in the body of the report can be referred to by section number.

 

Raw Data: Notes and data taken in ink during the laboratory exercise and the source of the manually taken data for the "Data Summary" section (equivalent to a laboratory "log book"). If you make an error, draw a single line through it. Processed data presented as raw data is a misrepresentation. Special experimental circumstances should be noted on these sheets during the lab period. Include any computer printout of raw data. Include estimates of experimental uncertainties in your raw measurements.

 

 

Clarity of organization; neatness: Your finished report should be clear and understandable to your professional colleagues (in your case the average upper division EE student who has not taken 145L). Use numbered section and sub-section headings (as suggested in the 145L textbook) so that your grader can keep track of the organization. Provide a short title for each figure so the reader knows what is being presented without having to read the entire report. Although many students prepare their reports on word processors and laser printers, the same material written by hand will get the same grade, provided that it can easily be read. (If your handwriting is difficult to read, learn to print!) All computer printout should be cut to 8.5 x 11 inches and attached so that it can be read as easily as any other page.

 

If you want to know how many points were deducted from each section, also include a table with entries for lateness, set-up, analysis, discussion, questions, clarity, and total grade.

 

IMPORTANT NOTES:

 

Photocopy your lab report before you turn it in. The typical lab report is 15 pages and the copy centers around campus charge about $0.08 per page - $1.20 is good insurance against a lost lab report. We will not excuse a lost lab report.

 

To turn in late lab reports, ask the instructor or the staff in 231 Cory to date and sign the lab report- then if possible, deliver it to the TA.

 

If you cannot get the lab exercise to work after two lab sessions, get the data from another lab group and note it in your lab report. It is better to take a small point deduction than to fall behind in your lab work.

11. Using the Digital Oscilloscope to Record Waveforms

1. INTRODUCTION

The instructions below describe how to use LabVIEW Signal Express to transfer data from the digital oscilloscope to the computer and print waveforms.

 

2. CAPTURING AND PRINTING THE WAVEFORM

1) Connect the oscilloscope to the signal generator, turn both on (Signal Express needs a waveform to start)

2) Find Signal Express on desktop or start menu under Programs/National Instruments/LabVIEW Signal Express/LabVIEW Signal Express

3)With the oscilloscope providing a signal, launch Signal Express

4) If the request for license appears, press continue, and then bypass the launch splash screen.

5) Add Step

      - Select Acquire Signal

      - IVI Acquire

      - IVI Scope Acquire

      - Once the Step Setup Tab appears select the appropriate entry for the oscilloscope from the pulldown menu labeled IVI Session Name and waiting for equipment initializing

      - Make sure that both analog channels are enabled and have appropriate parameters

6) Select the Data view (the black screen)

      Drag the signals onto the Data View

      Drag both the signals from the IVI Scope Acquire Step on the left onto the black screen

7) Run one step

8) For printing it is easier to view it with white background so you can just drag the signals onto the right most tab labeled Project Documentation

9) Modify and edit the data

      - Right click on the display to pull down the menu:

           View As for display XY format

           Visible for edit legend, cursors

10) You can print the Data View or the Project Documentation by File/Print command
