Experiment

USING THE TELECOMS-TRAINER 101 TO MODEL EQUATIONS

| CMET 417 Lab 1|

 OBJECTIVE

This experiment will introduce you to modelling equations by using the Emona
Telecoms-Trainer to implement two relatively equations. You’re going to use the Adder
module to add two electrical signals together. Mathematically, you’ll be implementing
the equation:
Adder module output = Signal A + Signal B

Equipment
Emona Telecoms-Trainer (plus power-pack)

two Emona Telecoms-Trainer oscilloscope leads

assorted Emona Telecoms-Trainer patch leads

Computer

Procedure
1. Gather a set of the equipment listed.
2. Connect the set-up shown in Figure 1 below

PAGE 1
3. Set up the scope. Ensure that:

• The Trigger Source control is set to the CH1 (or INT) position.

• The Mode control is set to the CH1 position.

4. Adjust the scope's Time base control to view two or so cycles of the Master Signals
module's 2 kHz SINE output.
5. Measure the amplitude (peak-to-peak) of the Master Signals module's 2 kHz SINE
output. Record your measurement in Table 1.
6. Measure and record the period of the Master Signals module's 2 kHz SINE output.
7. Use the period to calculate and record the frequency of the Master Signals module's 2
kHz SINE output.
8. Repeat Steps 4 to 7 for the Master Signals module's other two analog outputs.
9. Connect the set-up shown in Figure 3 below.

10. Set the scope's Mode control to the Dual position to view both of the Master Signals
module's 100 kHz outputs.

11. Adjust the scope's Time base control to view as few complete cycles of the two signals as
possible.
12. Set the Input Coupling controls for both channels to the GND position.
13. Use the Vertical Position control of both channels to align both traces with the horizontal
line in the middle of the scope's display.
14. Set the Input Coupling control for Channel 1 to the AC position. 15. As accurately as
you can, count the number of divisions for one cycle of the signal. Call this dimension the
"period".

Conclusion
In this experiment will introduce you to modelling equations by using the Emona Telecoms-
Trainer 101 to implement two relatively simple equations. As the two signals have the same
amplitude and frequency, if the phase shift is exactly 180° then their voltages at any point in
the waveform is always exactly opposite. That is, when one sinewave is +1V, the other is -
1V. When one is +3.75V, the other is -3.75V and so on.
