| Also located in Wing-B
this laboratory is currently going a transitional phase
towards blending Micro-Processors, Field Programmable
Gate Arrays, and Computer Architecture into one harmonious
setup. Currently the laboratory is equipped with 12
identical benches each having: a digital oscilloscope
from Tektronics, a digital function generator from Agilent,
a triple output DC power supply from Tektronics, a five
digit multimeter from Fluke, and a logic analyzer. Each
station also has a PIV computer and a XSA-50 FPGA Board.
The computers have a set of dedicated software installed
on them which include Web-Pack 6.3, and Model-Sim. The
Laboratory also has eight Micro-Chip PIC programmers;
(PIC Star Plus). Starting fall 2005-2006 all the stations
will be equipped with a Virtax-II FPGA boards that will
enable students to code debug and experiment with different
communication protocols used in interfacing computers
and their peripherals to each other. The facility is
used for teaching as well as a research area for both
graduate post graduate and under graduate students.
