Development of Computer-Based Instrumentation Electronics Laboratory for the Technology Program

使用计算机数据的先进电子实验室 采集和分析仪器正在开发中， 波士顿富兰克林学院的技术专业。 的 仪器由六个工作站组成，每个工作站有386个， 基于AT的个人计算机，带有内部电路板，用作： 数字逻辑分析仪（DLA）;以及模拟仪器 AIS系统由数字示波器组成，功能 发电机和发电机DLA将改善时间安排 基于微处理器的系统总线结构的分析。的 AIS将允许进一步解释电子和 电路通过其提取数据的能力， 频率特性曲线的软件处理 分析.使用该实验室的学生在第二届 为期两年的工程技术项目，他们将 有一年的电子电路课程。 的 该项目意义重大，因为它实现了一个高效， 成本效益高的系统，目前使用的类型， 私营部门，这将提高我们的学生的教育 经验，同时为他们在行业的职业生涯做好准备。 通过 展示了该系统的有效性，并开发了 随附的教学材料，该项目计划， 促进实施以计算机为基础的电子 其他教育机构的实验室。

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.
