Signal Chain

This is lab 2 of 17 in the course

by Enable Education

In this lab students will get acquainted from a high-level perspective with the signal chain process. Through hands-on experimentation students will explore the steps involved in the process that starts with drawing an electric signal from a sensor and ends with meaningful information about the physical phenomenon that this sensor is measuring. This involves measuring an electric signal, amplifying the signal, converting the analog signal into a digital signal, and analyzing and interpreting the signal through software analysis.
