EXPERIMENT 2: COMPUTER-AIDED LOGIC CIRCUIT DESIGNING

LAB 2: Computer-aided Logic Circuit

Designing
Duration: 3 Hours
OBJECTIVES:
To develop an understanding of the basic purpose and function of the
8 segment LED Display.
To learn how to use the MULTIMEDIA LOGIC Help Menu to learn about
devices and their operation.
To learn how to change properties of devices
To learn how to connect basic peripheral devices using MULTIMEDIA
LOGIC.
To draw simple Logic Diagrams from basic Boolean algebra equations.
To construct Truth Tables using Multimedia Logic.
MATERIALS:
1 Personal Computer (complete with accessories)
MULTIMEDIA LOGIC 1.4 Software
PROCEDURES:
Note: Answer all questions on these sheets and complete ALL required
activities.
1. Press the palette button (7th button over on your status bar) to view
your palette menu.
2. Press the Up Arrow button on the palette menu (row 1, column 1) to
select a device.
3. Once the Up Arrow has been depressed, click on a device and drag
over to the grid workspace.
4. Left click on the device in the grid workspace. The device will be
surrounded by little black boxes.
5. Right click and choose Properties. You have the option(s) of changing
input choices or, where appropriate, inverting the device.
For
example, you can change an AND into a NAND by clicking on Invert

Output. Click on Help button within Properties to obtain a detailed

description as to how to use the device.

6. Example
programs
and
tutorials
are
available
through:
C\MMLOGIC\Examples\{Advanced, Basic, Devices, Moderate}.

7. The attached Tutorial walks you through the basics of using

MULTIMEDIA LOGIC.
8. Each question requiring an answer is worth one (1) mark unless
otherwise indicated.
Part 1: Five Segment LED
1. Place a Five Segment LED (captioned as a 8 Segment LED Device on
the grid workspace. [Note: The default is 5-Segment LED]
2. Left click on the device and then right click into Properties area to print
out a Help Sheet on the device.
3. Hook up five Toggle Switches to the Five Segment LED.
4. Using the top switch as the Most Significant Bit (MSB) and the second
from the bottom switch as the Least Significant Bit (LSB), count up in
binary from 0000 to 1111.
5. What does the Five Segment LED register as you change the settings of
the switches?

6. What does the bottom switch represent?_____________________________
7. What would be the switch settings to register: C.

8. Change one of the switches to a Momentary On Switch.
9. Run the Application using the Momentary On Switch.
10.
What is one drawback of the Momentary On Switch?

Part 2: Eight Segment

1. Hook up eight toggle switches to an 8 Segment LED (row 4, column 4
on palette shown as an 8 captioned as 7 Segment LED on palette
shown in properties as 8 Segment LED.
2. The device will default to 5 Segment LED. How do you change it to 8
Segment LED? ________________________________________________
3. Place 8 toggle switches onto the display grid. Hook them up to the
device in the order top to bottom as shown. Consider them to be two
nibbles of binary numbers with the top bit being MSB and the lowest bit
being LSB.
4. Run the simulation. Practice flipping various toggle switches to display
numbers 0 to 0 or 0. to 9.
5. Which
toggle
switch
represents
the
decimal

point?

6. If you are not displaying a decimal point, what would your LSB binary
bit always be? ________________________________

8.

Using MULTIMEDIA LOGIC, create a circuit that would allow you to

display a two-digit decimal number. [Hint: You will require two sets of
eight toggle switches and two (2) 8 Segment LEDs]. Print off your
completed MULTIMEDIA LOGIC Circuit and attach
