Observations/Measurements:

I. 1,  iLab4A (PACNTL to LEDs) – Paste a picture of the LEDs and the connections from the signal generator to the Tower board (1pts)

I. 2,  iLab4A MODIFIED (PACNTL to LCDs) – Paste a couple of pictures of the LCDs and the connections from the signal generator to the Tower board (1pts/each) – Working code is worth 12pts

I. 3,  iLab4B (DAC Signal Generation) – Paste picture of the scope showing the outputs from the two ADC channels (5pts) – Annotate the picture to show the time/div setting and the volts/div setting

Questions:

1.     What commands are utilized for the configuration of the Event Counter? How does each affect the operation of the Event Counter? (2pts)

2.      What signal was observed at the output of DACA? What is the signal frequency of the DACA wave? What is the amplitude of the DACA signal? (2pts)

What signal was observed at the output of DACB? What is the signal frequency of the DACB wave? What is the amplitude of the DACB signal? (2pts)

3.     Describe a technique that can be used to have the DAC generate a square wave? What features could be added? (2pts)
