PART 1
INTRODUCTION

I. OBJECTIVES
- Lab policies and some regulations.
- To be familiar with Digital Logic Systems kit.
- Learn how to use some equipments in the electronic lab.

II. INTRODUCTION
In this lab you’ll use a Digital Logic Systems (DLS) kit to implement some simple digital
circuits. DLS kit provides you with a general wiring fabric in which to make connections
among circuit components. Learning how to use this kit effectively takes time and, more
vital, practice. Introduction to Digital Logic Systems kit shows you the basic layout of the
KIT which you’ll be using in DIGITAL LOGIC DESIGN LABORATORY.

III. LABORATORY POLICIES

a. Each lab session lasts 180 minutes and starts promptly. A brief introduction with demo
may be given by the instructor at the beginning of the lab. Everybody has to finish on
time, so please time yourself carefully. Doing the pre-lab can save you a lot of time.
Preparing the lab is very important; as it will save you time and allow you to work more
efficiently. The pre-lab includes reading the lab assignment in advance, answering the
questions or doing the calculations, and if necessary reviewing the material in the
textbook. All pre-lab preparation must be recorded and dated in the lab notebook prior
doing the lab. The lab instructor will check your pre-lab write-up and sign your pre-lab
sheet.
b. Student partnerships, each lab is done in groups of two. The team approach encourages
interaction and helps with the debugging and data collection. However, lab report has to
be handed in individually.
c. Collaboration, Students are working in groups of two in the laboratory. This encourages
team work and makes the conduction of the experiments more efficient. You can
collaborate on the pre-lab and on interpretation of the measured data. However, each
student is responsible for writing the pre-lab and recording the data in his or her pre-lab
sheet. Copying of data from other groups or altered information will result in a zero
grade for the course. The lab report is a joined effort and each student should contribute
equally to writing the report.
d. Instruments and supplies, the major instruments you will need are permanently installed
in the stations.
e. Leave your workplace at least as clean and tidy as you found it. Put everything back in
its proper place. If the workplace is not tidy after you finish it will cause to lose some
marks.
No foods or drinks are allowed inside the lab for any reason.
