Function Generator
Yesterday in ISAT 253 lab we used Function Generators and Oscilloscopes to learn about High and Low pass filters. We used a breadboard to make a circuit with a resistor and capacitor. We collected data from the circuit to better understand the operation of the filters.

Here, K, a sophomore ISAT major like me, adjusts the frequency on the function generator to take measurements on the oscilloscope.

Colin, also a sophomore ISAT major (who is also a Student Ambassador, so you may have seen him on a tour through campus sometime), is reading off the measurement from the oscilloscope for his lab partner. The oscilloscope is the device with the digital screen showing sinusoidal waves in the voltage flowing through the circuit from the function generator on the right with the red digital readout reading "588.80".
It was an exciting morning, as I had the last lecture for ISAT 252, and started working on a lab program to demonstrate knowledge of loops. I hope to have it finished soon, so I can work on load-in for the convocation (abbreviated as the convo) show tomorrow night.
Tonight, I'll be helping to set up the stage in the convo ‘til early tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow, I'll have a lunch appointment with Dr. Altaii do talk about ISAT 253, and prepare for the final exam in a week and a half, so close!
