All the obtained resultswere in good agreement with the calculated and the experimental values. Fig. 2On the digital part, students were given a count sequence and they were asked tosynthesize the circuit using T, R-S, J-K, or D flip-flop which will yield the optimumdesign from the standpoint of component and the number of pins. Students applied K-Map to implement the circuit, then used the logic analyzer to verify their answers. Table1 is the required count sequence and figure 3 is the result of one of the students

In addition, when the peak signal is found, theazimuth, elevation and signal to noise ratio (SNR) are recorded.

The result of this analysis is shown in Figure 5,where (*) indicates an experimental point and the curve is defined by the transfer functionmodel 0.789 (0.0829 s +1) . The experimental frequency response matched the first order model veryclosely and validated the assumption that the armature inductance is negligible.From these analyses, students were able to design tunable PD controllers for fixation of thestereo sensor head on a point light source.
