eSERIES FACET® ELECTRONICS TRAINING SYSTEM SERIES 91000 Mind-Sight comes ready to “plug-and-play.” Lab-Volt provides a fully-supported network appliance which has been pre-installed with the management and communication software. Without disturbing an existing network, Mind-Sight is connected to a spare LAN connection and client software is installed. Course content and class management are administered from the instructor control software. Mind-Sight can also be connected to a single workstation with training hardware connected, or even as a stand-alone e-learning program without hardware. All courses are SCORM-compliant, so they are usable with other learning management systems such as Blackboard®. A licensing fee for such usage will apply, and the customer must install and maintain the course. FACET incorporates built-in circuit modification and fault-insertion training capabilities. Students perform experiments on a wide range of analog and digital electronics, and electricity training modules that combine theory and application with practical skills training techniques. Each module connects with a base unit that distributes power and controls the circuits on the board. A complete training station consists of training hardware (any one of the modules plus a base unit and accessory kit), instruments, and student manual or Mind-Sight network appliance and eSeries courseware. The instructor guide and supportive pre- and post-tests provide instructors and students with an extensive overview and working knowledge of electricity, analog, and digital electronics. FACET is suitable for a multitude of training purposes in educational, industrial, and military training laboratories. When a training module is inserted into a base unit, the system functions as an electronics training workstation. Faults and circuit modifications (CM) are set into the circuits, and students then locate, isolate, and troubleshoot the malfunction through a series of troubleshooting steps, including the use of test instruments. Up to twenty CMs and 12 faults, introduced from the base unit, reduce the need for connecting leads and allow practical assessment of a student’s understanding of a circuit. FACET's scope is growing continuously. Currently available are the following modules: & DC Fundamentals & DC Network Theorems & AC 1 Fundamentals & AC 2 Fundamentals & Semiconductor Devices & Transistor Amplifier Circuits & Transistor Power Amplifiers & Transistor Feedback Circuits & Power Supply Regulation Circuits & FET Fundamentals 2

The Power Transistors and GTO Thyristor training module enables students to perform hands-on exercises that demonstrate the use of different types of selfcommutated switching devices commonly used in power electronics. The module contains the following six different types of self-commutated switching devices: a MOSFET, an isolated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT), a fast IGBT, a bipolar transistor, a Darlington transistor, and a GTO thyristor. It also contains Driver and Load sections that help students to study the various switching devices. The Driver consists of an opto-isolator and a driver for power transistors. The Load consists of resistive and inductive components as well as general purpose, fast, and ultra-fast free-wheeling diodes. Using this training module, students learn the operation of power transistors and GTO thyristors. They observe the switching characteristics, conduction voltage drop, and losses of each switching device. Students also learn how to match free-wheeling diodes with the various types of switching devices mentioned above. This module enables students to know which switching device should be used in a particular application according to the power levels and switching frequency. The GTO Thyristor integrated in this circuit block finally makes it possible to study GTOs at a small scale, even at very low power levels. With the FACET fault-insertion training system, students develop troubleshooting capabilities for all circuits included in the module as well as for the switching devices.

Students first learn the principles and operational characteristics of transmission lines. They then learn how to conduct transmission line measurements under transient (step testing), and sinusoidal steady-state conditions. Finally, students acquire a valuable foundation in the theory and practice of time-domain reflectometry (TDR), as well as impedance matching and transformation. The circuit board uses two RG-174 coaxial cables, each a length of 24 meters (78.7 feet). They can be used separately or connected end-to-end. Each line has five probing points that permit observation and measurements of signals along the line, using an oscilloscope. Two generators are provided to study the transmission line behavior: a step generator that produces a 50-kHz square-wave voltage for transient behavior testing, and a signal generator that produces a sinusoidal voltage of variable frequency (5 kHz - 5 MHz) for steady-state behavior testing. Each generator has several BNC outputs providing different output impedances. A load section, consisting of a configurable network of resistors, inductors, and capacitors, permits connection of different load impedances to the receiving end of each line.

The high sampling rate used (up to 1 GS/s) provides the Virtual Instrument unit with a 250-MHz bandwidth that is amply sufficient for the observation and analysis of the various signals in the FACET Electronics Training program. The Virtual Instrument unit also generates signal samples (data) that are converted to analog format to produce the AWG output signal. Data exchange between the Virtual Instrument unit and the host computer that runs the virtual instrument software is through a USB link (USB 1.1 and 2.0 compatible). Matlab and LabVIEW interfacing is also possible.

Model 91602 – Microprocessor Application Board
This board is an add-on to the 32-Bit Microprocessor (Model 91017). It allows students to study how microprocessors can control and communicate with external devices. The Application Board has two application circuits: a DC MOTOR CONTROLLER, and a TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER. The DC MOTOR CONTROLLER has a motor whose speed and direction of rotation can be controlled by the microprocessor. Mounted on the motor's shaft is a fan blade that makes it easier for students to see the direction of rotation. The motor's shaft also has an encoder disk with optical interrupter that provides feedback on the motor speed to the microprocessor, allowing closed-loop control of the motor speed. The TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER uses two temperature transducers whose output current is a function of their temperature. One transducer is thermally bonded to a resistor that is used as a heater. The microprocessor controls the turning on and turning off of the heater, whose status is indicated by an LED indicator. The other transducer is used as a room-temperature reference, allowing the microprocessor to perform closedloop control of the temperature. The Microprocessor Application Board interfaces to the 32-Bit Microprocessor Board via I/O control lines and digital-to-analog (DAC) and analog-to-digital (ADC) converters. Test points on the Application Board permit the monitoring of the digital and analog signals exchanged between the Microprocessor and Application Boards, using an oscilloscope, logic probe, or voltmeter. The course can be performed through the interactive computer-based learning (CBL) provided with the course of Model 91017, or in a conventional way by using the manuals provided with the course of Model 91017.
