LAB SESSION-1

OBJECTIVES
To learn about:
- Digital Multimeter
- DC Power supply
- Function Generator
- Oscilloscope
6
Resistors
Standard resistor: In these resistors the first and second ring are the resistive value, the third is the
multiplier, the fourth is the tolerance
Precision resistors: In these resistors the first, second and third ring are the resistive value, the fourth
is the multiplier, and the fifth is the tolerance.
7
Capacitors
• Most capacitors have numbers printed on their bodies to indicate their
electrical characteristics. Larger capacitors like electrolytics usually
display the actual capacitance together with the unit (for example, 220 μF).
• Example
A capacitor with the text 473K 330V on its body has a capacitance of 47 x
103 pF = 47 nF (±10%) with a working voltage of 330 V.
• Letters such as p (pico) or n (nano) are used in place of the decimal point
to identify its position.
• For example, a capacitor can be labelled as, n47 = 0.47nF, 4n7 = 4.7nF or
47n = 47nF.

Digital Multimeter
• A multimeter is an electronic
measuring instrument that
combines several measurement
functions in one unit. A typical
multimeter may include features
such as the ability to measure
voltage, current and resistance.
11
DC POWER SUPPLY
• Note that the ground terminal (┴) is isolated from the output and is
connected to the chassis (or case ) ground, which is also
connected to the earth ground through the 3-wire receptacle.
14
Types of Regulation
Load regulation
Line regulation
• It is found that when the line or input voltage changes, then a small
variation may be seen on the output.
16
Typical Specifications
• Wide Frequency Range : 0.03Hz to 3MHz
• Function Output : DC,Sine, Triangle, Square,
Ramp Pulse, TTL (Sync.)
• Low sine wave Distortion : <1%
• Square Rise/Fall Times : <75nSec.
• Time Symmetry : 15% to 85% variable
• Output Amplitude : 20Vp-p in open circuit,
10Vp-p in 50 ohms Load
17
Important Front panel Controls
• Frequency/ Vp-p display selection switch: To select either frequency or peak to peak
amplitude mode for display.
• Frequency range selection switches: Pushing one of the push button switches at a
time select the desired frequency in decades from 0.03 Hz to 3MHz.
• Frequency Coarse and Fine control Knobs : To set the desired frequency of function
between 0.1 to 1 times the frequency range selected. User can accurately set the
desired frequency using fine control Knob.
• Function Switch: Three inter locking push button switches provide selection of the
desired output wave form.(Sine, Triangle and Square) Pressing one switch will
release the switch previously pressed. When all switches are depressed then DC
function is selected.
• DC Offset control knob: This knob with ON/OFF control is provided to allow the DC
level of the output wave forms to be set as desired upto +/- 10V.
• Symmetry control knob: Time symmetry (Time of positive and negative cycle) of the
output waveforms, as well as the TTL pulse output is controlled by this knob. So
that variation from 10% to 90% symmetry is obtained. This unique feature provides
ramp waveforms, variable duty cycle pulses and skewed sine waves.
18
OSCILLOSCOPE
19
What does an oscilloscope do?
20
Oscilloscope front panel controls
• VOLTS/DIV Control: Adjust the vertical scale of the V/t graph. The
vertical scales for different channels can be adjusted
independently.
• DC/AC/GND selection:
– In the DC position, the signal input is connected directly to the Y-
amplifier of the corresponding channels.
– In the AC position, a capacitor is connected into the signal pathway so
that DC voltages are blocked and only changing AC signals are
displayed.
– In the GND position, the input of the Y-amplifier is connected to 0 V.
This allows you to check the position of 0 V on the oscilloscope
screen. 22
– The DC position of these switches is correct for most signals.
• Y Pos and X Pos : Y-POS moves the whole trace
vertically up and down on the screen, while X-POS
moves the whole trace from side to side on the screen.
These control are useful because the trace can be
moved so that more of the picture appears on the
screen, or to make measurements easier using the grid
which covers the screen.
• Alt / Chop:
– In Alt mode, the channels are displayed on alternate
sweeps, used to view high frequency signals.
– In chop mode, the channel signals are chopped,
switched and displayed , so that all can be viewed
simultaneously. Used to view low frequency signals.

Bread boards
• The picture shows how the breadboard holes are connected:
• The top and bottom rows are linked horizontally all the way
across as shown by the red and black lines on the diagram.
Normally the power supply is connected to these rows.
28
Breadboard wiring with solderless approach
• A breadboard is used to make up temporary circuits for testing or
to try out an idea. No soldering is required so it is easy to change
connections and replace components. Parts will not be damaged
so that they will be available for re-use again and again.
• Connections on Breadboard

board.

Rectifier
• A Rectifier converts AC to DC. Usually a capacitor
filters out the ripple voltage. Rectifier is often followed
by a voltage regulator.
• Half wave Rectifier:

SOLDERING PRACTICES
Soldering
• Purpose of soldering is
(i) Good Electrical Connections
(ii) Strong Mechanical Connections
• Soldering Iron is used to melt the solder and to make the joint of the
metal parts.
40
Good Soldering
41
Flux
• Flux only cleans oxides off the surface to be soldered.
• It does not remove dirt, soot, oils, silicon, etc.
• Don’t use acid flux for electronic works.
• Use only ROSIN flux
• Now a days flux is contained in the core of the solder
wire itself.
42
Solders
• Solder is a metal or metallic alloy used, when
melted, to join metallic surfaces together. The most
common alloy is some combination of tin and lead.
• Certain special applications may require Silver
Solder.
• Solder can be selected considering following
Low melting temperature
Narrow or No soft region
• 60/40 is the most common for electronic soldering.
• Solder wire available in different diameters, larger
diameter required for soldering connectors, small
diameters is sufficient for PCB soldering.
Tin/Lead Melting Point
40/60 230 °C
50/50 214 °C
60/40 190 °C 43
63/37 183 °C
Soldering Iron
• To make good connection you have to heat the
junction somewhat above the melting temperature of
solder this is the job of the soldering iron.
• Tinning
Tinning is the Process of coating fresh solder to a cleaned
soldering iron tip. It helps to reduces oxidization and
increases the amount of heat transfer to the connection.
• Soldering.
• Wetting
Wetting is the Penetration of solder into the surface of
metal parts,Actually this is the process, that gives physical
strength and good electrical connections.
46
Desoldering Techniques
Undoubtedly, a time will come that you may have to remove the solder from a
joint, because of replacement for a faulty component or for fixing a dry joint. This is
done by the process called „Desoldering‟
Desoldering pump
The usual way is to use a desoldering pump which works like a small
spring-loaded pump, only in reverse! (More demanding users using
CMOS devices might need a pump which is ESD safe.)
A spring-loaded plunger is released at the push of a button and the molten
solder is then drawn up into the pump. It may take one or two attempts to
clean up a joint this way, but a small desoldering pump is an invaluable
tool especially for PCB work.
Desoldering Wick
An excellent alternative to a pump is to use desoldering wick which are
packaged in small dispenser reels.
This product is a specially treated fine copper braid which draws molten
solder up into the braid where it solidifies.
The best way is to use the tip of the hot iron to press a short length of braid
down onto the joint to be de-soldered.
The iron will subsequently melt the solder, which will be drawn up into the
braid. Take extreme care to ensure that you don't allow the solder to cool
with the braid adhering to the work, or you run the risk of damaging PCB
copper tracks when you attempt to pull the braid off the joint.

2. Smoke Detector
Gas Sensor (MQ-2)
• The gas sensor module consists of a steel skeleton under which a sensing
element is housed.
• This sensing element is subjected to current through connecting leads.
• This current is known as heating current through it, the gases coming close to
the sensing element get ionized and are absorbed by the sensing element.
• This changes the resistance of the sensing element which alters the value of
the current going out of it.
