OBJECTIVES
After performing this lab exercise, learner will be able to:
• Program MSP430 Launchpad board to generate signals (like Sine, Square wave or PWM) and use it as a DUT for your experiment
• Capture and display the signal from given Device Under Test (DUT)
• Identify waveform math operation available
• Use Math Addition to add two waveforms / signal on live channels
EQUIPMENT
To carry out this experiment, you will need:
• TBS1KB - Digital Oscilloscope from Tektronix
• MSP430 Launchpad board
• Voltage probe (provided with oscilloscope) / BNC cables
• Breadboard and connecting wires
• Simple circuit components – Resistor / capacitors
THEORY
• Math channel is provided in the oscilloscope to perform mathematical operation right on signals
• Math Addition: When two waveforms are added, the amplitude of math output is the sum of amplitudes of two signals at any point of time.
