Mind-Sight comes ready to “plug-and-play.” Lab-Voltprovides a fully-supported network appliance which hasbeen pre-installed with the management andcommunication software. Without disturbing an existingnetwork, Mind-Sight is connected to a spare LANconnection and client software is installed. Coursecontent and class management are administered from theinstructor control software. Mind-Sight can also beconnected to a single workstation with training hardwareconnected, or even as a stand-alone e-learning programwithout hardware.

All courses are SCORM-compliant, so they areusable with other learning management systems such asBlackboard®. A licensing fee for such usage will apply,and the customer must install and maintain the course.

FACET incorporates built-in circuit modification andfault-insertion training capabilities. Students performexperiments on a wide range of analog and digitalelectronics, and electricity training modules that combinetheory and application with practical skills trainingtechniques. Each module connects with a base unit thatdistributes power and controls the circuits on the board.A complete training station consists of training hardware(any one of the modules plus a base unit and accessorykit), instruments, and student manual or Mind-Sightnetwork appliance and eSeries courseware. Theinstructor guide and supportive pre- and post-testsprovide instructors and students with an extensiveoverview and working knowledge of electricity, analog,and digital electronics.

FACET is suitable for a multitude of training purposesin educational, industrial, and military traininglaboratories. When a training module is inserted into abase unit, the system functions as an electronics trainingworkstation. Faults and circuit modifications (CM) are setinto the circuits, and students then locate, isolate, andtroubleshoot the malfunction through a series oftroubleshooting steps, including the use of testinstruments. Up to twenty CMs and 12 faults, introducedfrom the base unit, reduce the need for connecting leadsand allow practical assessment of a student’sunderstanding of a circuit. FACET's scope is growingcontinuously. Currently available are the followingmodules:

OPTIONAL FACET EQUIPMENTModel 1250 – Virtual Instrument PackageThe Lab-Volt Virtual Instrument Package, Model 1250,replaces standard desktop test equipment (FACETModel 1247 and oscilloscope) with a powerful, space-saving, virtual instrumentation package that givesstudents state-of-the-art tools to measure, analyze,observe, and report the results of electronic circuit tests.It operates under any one of the following Microsoft®

Windows® operating systems: XP, Vista, Windows 7, andWindows 8.

Fully integrated with the FACET Electronics Trainingprogram, the Lab-Volt Virtual Instrument Packageenables students to conduct all experiments that wouldotherwise be performed using separate instruments.

The complete Virtual Instrument Package consistsof a Virtual Instrument unit (data acquisition and digitaloutput module) and a Windows-based software includingthe following virtual instruments and signal source:

Dual-Channel OscilloscopeMultimeterSpectrum AnalyzerArbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG)

Virtual Instrument

The Lab-Volt Virtual Instrument unit is a lightweight,compact interface module that can be powered from anystandard AC power wall outlet (100 to 240 V, 50/60 Hz).Two BNC connectors and a pair of safety banana socketson the front panel of the Virtual Instrument unit provideaccess to the various virtual instruments. A third BNCconnector on the front panel of the Virtual Instrument unit


26

provides the AWG output signal. A BNC connector on theback panel of the Virtual Instrument unit is the access tothe external trigger input of the virtual Oscilloscope.

The Virtual Instrument unit samples the signalsapplied to its various inputs to provide raw signal data thatis used by the virtual instrument software to measure anddisplay the input signals. The high sampling rate used (upto 1 GS/s) provides the Virtual Instrument unit with a250-MHz bandwidth that is amply sufficient for theobservation and analysis of the various signals in theFACET Electronics Training program. The VirtualInstrument unit also generates signal samples (data) thatare converted to analog format to produce the AWGoutput signal. Data exchange between the VirtualInstrument unit and the host computer that runs the virtualinstrument software is through a USB link (USB 1.1 and2.0 compatible).

Matlab and LabVIEW interfacing is also possible.

Oscilloscope

The Oscilloscope has two input channels and an externaltrigger input. The maximum sampling rate is 1 GS/s whena single channel is used and 500 MS/s when bothchannels are used. Cursors are available to performvoltage, frequency, and phase measurements on thedisplayed signals. The Oscilloscope can performcontinuous sampling or single-shot sampling of the inputsignals.

Multimeter

The Multimeter has one input channel sampled at a rateof 1 GS/s. The Multimeter can measure the AC and DCvalues of voltage and current as well as resistance, likeany conventional multimeter.

Spectrum Analyzer

The Spectrum Analyzer has two independent inputchannels, each channel being sampled at a rate of 1GS/s. The Spectrum Analyzer converts the signalsamples into frequency-domain information that isdisplayed as a graph of signal level as a function offrequency. The vertical scale can be either linear orlogarithmic and has a fully-adjustable range. Cursors areavailable to measure the level and frequency of particularcomponents in the displayed frequency spectra,frequency intervals, signal bandwidth, etc. The SpectrumAnalyzer can perform continuous sampling or single-shotsampling of the input signals.

27

This board is an add-on to the 32-Bit Microprocessor(Model 91017). It allows students to study howmicroprocessors can control and communicate withexternal devices. The Application Board has twoapplication circuits: a DC MOTOR CONTROLLER, anda TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER.

The DC MOTOR CONTROLLER has a motor whosespeed and direction of rotation can be controlled by themicroprocessor. Mounted on the motor's shaft is a fanblade that makes it easier for students to see the directionof rotation. The motor's shaft also has an encoder diskwith optical interrupter that provides feedback on themotor speed to the microprocessor, allowing closed-loopcontrol of the motor speed.

The TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER uses twotemperature transducers whose output current is afunction of their temperature. One transducer is thermallybonded to a resistor that is used as a heater. Themicroprocessor controls the turning on and turning off ofthe heater, whose status is indicated by an LED indicator.The other transducer is used as a room-temperaturereference, allowing the microprocessor to perform closed-loop control of the temperature.

The Microprocessor Application Board interfaces tothe 32-Bit Microprocessor Board via I/O control lines anddigital-to-analog (DAC) and analog-to-digital (ADC)converters. Test points on the Application Board permitthe monitoring of the digital and analog signalsexchanged between the Microprocessor and ApplicationBoards, using an oscilloscope, logic probe, or voltmeter.

The course can be performed through the interactivecomputer-based learning (CBL) provided with the courseof Model 91017, or in a conventional way by using themanuals provided with the course of Model 91017.
