Abstract
Integrating Mixed Signal Oscilloscope (MSO) into Microcontroller Lab: A Case Study.
Oscilloscopes are important devices for analyzing signals between different electronic devices. Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes (MSO) are category of oscilloscopes capable of analyzing both analog and digital signals. The tremendous increase for debugging and analyzing digital techniques in different electrical and computer applications make it mandatory for electrical and computer engineering student to gain basic concepts in the digital domain in addition to the analog domain. This study aims at integrating MSO features into analogue oscilloscopes to teach students both digital and analogue signal analysis. This integration requires an upgrade that will enable the digital logic analyzer capabilities of the oscilloscopes and make them mixed domain oscilloscopes that can analyze both digital and analog signals. The hardware and software necessary for the upgrade are discussed and the modern digital communication protocols, which are common in recent embedded systems such as wearable and Internet of Things (IoT) devices are explained. This lab upgrade will allow students to perform comparisons between the analog and digital domains and perform both time and frequency analysis of the systems and signals. The tremendous increase for debugging and analyzing digital techniques in different electrical and computer applications make it mandatory for electrical and computer engineering student to gain basic concepts in the digital domain in addition to the analog domain. This study aims at integrating MSO features into analogue oscilloscopes to teach students both digital and analogue systems and signal analysis. The proposal will show how the MSOs can be used in the electrical and computer engineering curriculum through an “Introduction to Microcontrollers” laboratory course. Two labs are introduced to allow the students to analyze and study the digital domain of the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) and the Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) protocols. Finally, the labs will teach the student how to analyze machine code and map it into both assembly instructions and high-level language programs code.
