Allows the manual to be easily applied in a hardwired lab environment, and enables students to compare the computer simulated results with hardwired circuit results, which is not possible with most lab manuals. Enables students to wire the circuits on the computer screen, using the components from the parts bin. By wiring the circuits in the Electronics Workbench workspace, they can create a hardwired laboratory environment. List of Objectives. Makes it easier for students to do the calculations and answer the questions without referring to another textbook, and makes it possible for them to use the manual as a combination text and lab manual, if desired.
Materials list and circuit diagrams.
Makes it possible to use this manual in a hardwired laboratory environment. The questions in the Procedure require students to think about the results during each procedure step while the results are fresh in their minds, rather than after the entire experiment is completed. Focuses on circuit faults. In each troubleshooting problem, the parts bin has been removed to force students to find the fault by making a series of circuit measurements rather than by replacing components. Helps students develop troubleshooting skills.
