Educator’s Resource Kit

The Educ
engineering students the fundamentals of test and measurement. Included on the
CD are six problem-based laboratory experiments, with matching instructor’s
guides and reference fact sheets , and a training board for use with the experiments.
The laboratory experiments are designed to be scalable from two to four hours
in length to match your lab needs. All instructional materials – lab experiments,
inst
and an editable format (either as a Word document or a PowerPoint file). The
copyright on the instructional materials grants you permission to reprint, modify
and distribute in whole or in part the documents for the purpose of training
students on Tektronix test instrumentation.

An Oscilloscope Basic Concepts book is also included, which covers the basic
features and functions of an oscilloscope. Hardware to attach the Oscilloscope
Basic Concepts to the oscilloscope is provided.

ator’s Resource Kit offers a comprehensive suite of tools for teaching

ructor’s guides and reference fact sheets – are provided in both .pdf format

als on the Training Board

The diagram includes a grid to help you locate signals on the training board
connectors and headers. To find the desired signal on the diagram, look up the
grid locatio

accidental ESD (electro-static discharge).

Board label. NOISY_SINE

Connector grid location. B7

Description. The Noisy Sine signal is a 19.07 Hz sine wave with 64 analog steps

per cycle, resembling those made by a digital-to-analog converter (DAC). It also
has 18 glitches per cycle, resembling those from a switch-mode power supply.

Board label. RS232

Connector grid location. B5 to C5

Description. The UART signal is the logic level input to the RS-232 UART from

the μC. The transmit signal (TX) is the RS-232 voltage level serial bus signal.

The decoded data packets display the ASCII string: “Tektronix”, followed by six
spaces and one error.

e components on the board are susceptible to damage from

There are no matching receive or data flow control signals.

The baud rate is 9600. The data format is 1 start bit, and 8 data bits with no parity.
