Circuit Simuation and Virtual Instruments – A Hands-on an Integrated Approach

Description

About the book

This book is in the form of standalone virtual laboratory to perform experiments anywhere anytime for self-learning of basic concepts in electronics. Procedure for performing experiments using PSpice simulation and by using an Analog and Digital Discovery Workstation is also provided. Today in education, electronics concepts taught through lectures are often complemented by laboratory experiments. Laboratories are critical to enable learners to develop required knowledge and skill. The learner does not get sufficient time to observe response of the given circuit for various component values and think critically on obtained response. limited duration of practical contact session at the study center, lack of up-to-date laboratory infrastructure. One way to avoid these difficulties interactive multimedia simulation is an appropriate way to complement electronic practical. Simulations also offer learner the opportunity to test new knowledge, strategies, skills and techniques in a virtual, risk-free environment. Secondly an Analog and Digital Discovery Workstation is a remote lab that provides a unique opportunity for the students to overcome the limitations of a traditional laboratory experience and perform hands-on experiments while being physically located away from on-campus laboratory devices. Which is portable test and measurement devices, provides various instruments in a single integrated module along with MATLAB interface etc.
