LAB INFO
TA's office GWC 446, LAB GWC379

The lab reports must be submitted on the specified due date. See a TA or the instructor for late reports.

 

The Lab report must not exceed 6 pages (unless otherwise specified). You are expected to answer only the Lab exercises (and not the introduction part) provided at the end of  the Lab instructions. You may include few diagrams or capture the screen shot of the graphs that you generated by simulations. You are not supposed to submit the VIs, but only the screenshots of the VIs . A Sample Lab Report is posted below.

 

You may work in groups, but you must submit your individual report with the screenshots of your own VIs.


All Documents must be saved onto personal flash drive before Shutting down the computer. Data will be lost once you log off.


If you have any questions regarding the labs, you may contact the TAs during the lab hours or by email.
