An advanced electronics laboratory using computer-based data acquisition and analysis instrumentation is being developed at Franklin Institute of boston for its technology majors. The instrumentation consists of six workstations, each with a 386- based AT personal computer with internal boards for use as: a digital logic analyzer (DLA); and, an analog instrumentation system (AIS) comprised of a digital oscilloscope, function generator and multimeter. The DLA will improve the timing analysis of a microprocessor-based system bus architecture. The AIS will allow a further explanation of electronics and electrical circuits through its capability to extract data and its software manipulation in frequency and characteristic curve analysis. The students using this laboratory are in the 2nd year of two-year engineering technology programs, and they will have had one year of electrical and electronic circuits. The project is significant because it implements an efficient, cost-effective system, of a type currently utilized in the private sector, that will improve our students' educational experience while preparing them for a career in industry. By demonstrating the efficacy of this system and developing the accompanying instructional materials, the project plans to facilitate the implementation of computer-based electronic laboratories by other educational institutions.

波士顿富兰克林学院正在为其技术专业开发一个使用基于计算机的数据采集和分析仪器的先进电子实验室。 该仪器由六个工作站组成，每个工作站均配有一台基于 386 AT 的个人计算机，其内部板可用作： 数字逻辑分析仪 (DLA)；模拟仪器系统（AIS）由数字示波器、函数发生器和万用表组成。 DLA 将改进基于微处理器的系统总线架构的时序分析。 AIS 将通过其提取数据的能力以及频率和特性曲线分析中的软件操作来进一步解释电子和电路。使用该实验室的学生是两年制工程技术课程的第二年，他们将学习一年的电气和电子电路课程。 该项目意义重大，因为它实施了一种高效、具有成本效益的系统，属于目前私营部门使用的类型，这将改善我们学生的教育经验，同时为他们在工业界的职业生涯做好准备。 通过展示该系统的功效并开发随附的教学材料，该项目计划促进其他教育机构实施基于计算机的电子实验室。
