NSF/STEER Program California State University, Los Angeles Summer 2003 Digital Signal Processing Laboratory Mentored by Dr. Jeffrey Y. Beyon Presented by Kyla C. Ollie
Agenda • Introduction • Program Expectations • Program Outcomes • LabVIEW Tools • The Final Project • Virtual Equalizer Components • Future Uses • Conclusion • Simulation
Introduction In the Digital Signaling Processing Laboratory, teachers learned: • LabVIEW 7.0 program • To construct virtual instruments (VI) that processed, filtered, digitized and displayed time and frequency data • To create Sub VI’s that can be used repeated in in different programs • To construct a virtual equalizer for their final project
Program Expectations • Expectations before the start of the STEER Program were: • To assist professors • To acquire useful engineering research skills • To acquire new ideas that will increase the desire and motivation of students for careers in the Engineering and Technology fields
Program Outcome • Acquired new skills and knowledge in: • Microsoft Office (Excel, PowerPoint & Word) • Technical Writing • Webpage Design (using HTML) • Assigned to the Digital Signal Processing Laboratory we were: • Assigned LabVIEW 7.0 tutorials & assignments • Constructed programs using Graphical User Interfaces (GUI)
LabVIEW 7.0 Tools • Controls, Indicators and Constants • Loops • Arrays • Output forms • Waveform Graphs & Charts • Progress Bars • Filters • Lowpass (LPF) • Highpass (HPF) • Bandpass (BPF) • Bandstop (BSF)
Filters Lowpass Filter (LPF) Highpass Filter (HPF) Bandstop Filter (BSF) Bandpass Filter (BPF)
The Final Project • Both teachers chose to make different types of equalizers for use in their classrooms based upon unique needs. • Equalizers included • Digital Filters • FFT Chips for Time Domain • Sub VI’s • Convolution of Signal Inputs • Outputs
Virtual Equalizer Components • The virtual equalizer, when linked to a CD player via an audio cable & the computer’s sound card, will display the following components: • Controls for the: • Balance • 10 Frequency Channels • Volume • Music Waveform Chart • 3-D Waveform Graph
Future Plans/Wishes • The Virtual Equalizer & LabVIEW 7.0 (student version) could be utilized in the classroom to visually demonstrate and explain: • Properties and characteristics of sound waves • Sound Frequencies • Sine and cosine waves • My wish is to return and continue research in other laboratories
Conclusion • This summer’s Research Experiences for Teachers (sponsored by the National Science Foundation & CSULA) using LabVIEW helped in: • Acquiring a new programming skill • Developing a new computer-based teaching tool • To develop future stimulating and challenging projects
Thank You • I would like to thank several people for making the STEER Program a success: • Dr. Boussalis • Dr. Beyon • Dr. Dong • Dr. Liu • Dr. Rad • The Graduate and Undergraduate Assistants • Virtual Equalizer Simulation
