Requirements: • One numeric indicator showing the temperature in °CFunctional Requirements: • Designed operating temperature range: 0°C to 100°C • Implement thermistor equation that converts RT to T. • Temperature measurement range: 25°C to 75°C with accuracy within +/- 5°CAn example of the screen capture of a student’s LabVIEW front panel and block diagram are shownbelow in Figure 1. For this project, students needed to implement the equation characterizing therelationship between resistance and temperature for the thermistor. Figure 1(b) includes aMathScript Node that determines the resistance of the thermistor (based on the voltage dividerconfiguration) and implements the mathematical equation of the thermistor for calculatingtemperature

repairs: 1. Unregulated Power Supply a. Screw terminals connecting the power supply subcomponents were found loose, potentially causing unstable voltages and currents from high-resistance connections. All screw terminals were tightened. b. Lugs used to connect the Rectifiers to the screw terminals were filled with solder instead of crimped, with broken solder joints found. The Rectifiers were replaced and new terminals were crimped to the new rectifier leads. 2. BeagleBone Black and Probotix Breakout Board a. The existing BeagleBone was found to be unresponsive and directories were empty, despite handling a SSH connection through PuTTY and WinSCP. This

A review of the control and function pal-let with associated controls, indicators, nodesand functions is carried out. The main focus of Figure 2 (a): Front panel for running LED light.this session is to understand the data flow con-cept of LabVIEW and use numeric, Boolean, Figure 2 (b): LabVIEW block diagram for running LED lights.and comparison function pallets to write and execute mathematical expressions.

voltage of the VCVS appears atterminal VCD and is a half-wave rectified triangle which may be positive-going or negative-going, depending upon the polarity selected by switch S1. This output of the VCVS provides thecollector voltage for BJTs or drain voltage for MOSFETs. Resistor R10 is a built-in current-limiting resistor used with diode IV measurements. The anode of a diode under test is connectedto terminal DA. The VCVS output current is limited to approximately ±25mA.Fig. 2. Partitioned curve tracer schematic. Functions of each block are described in the text.Block B is a transresistance amplifier that produces a voltage at terminal VI that is proportionalto the current entering the virtual-ground input (terminals S_E and DC).

Introduction to electricity (voltage, ampere, resistance, etc.) During this lecture, students will learn about the wiring skills and how they can use the tools and components. Students will been asked to draw electrical schematic diagram for the circuit. Students will learn the skills of how to convert schematic diagram into actual wiring using many components. Students will learn how to select the right tool to perform the task. b.

The study focused on 405 expatriate employees with international experience. Theauthors concluded that intercultural competence is a precondition for cultural diversitymanagement, but development of cross-cultural competencies can improve employees’performance and enhance organizational competitiveness.
