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.
