The Virtual Instruments: Presentation 2 Presented By: Jace Curtis and Peter Blach Advisor: Dr. Arthur Broderson http://www.vubme.vuse.vanderbilt.edu/group19_99
Progress: Overview Virtual Function Generator Oscilloscope Power Supply
Problems: Acquisition Board Virtual Function Generator Capabilities Input Sampling Speed (1.25MHz) Input Sampling Range (+/- 5V) Output Speed (1MHz) Output Range (+/- 10V) Virtual Function Generator
Oscilloscope Sampling Rate Sampling Range
Function Generator Advantages Limitations of Digitizing
Dual Power Supply Power limitations Advantages
Proposed Solution Origin of all Problems: Solution: Hardware, not Software Solution: New Data Acquisition Board $300 more expensive per board Samples 4x faster Range is 4x more Optimize Lab Setup combination of Virtual and Real instruments
Conclusions: Problem Solution Next Step: test on actual circuits design 12 labs (EECE 213)
