Oscilloscope and Binary Adder
ENEE 245 0103/0104 Lab Report Guidelines
Here are a few guidelines that I hope will help you in writing your lab reports. First off, here are the statements Dr. Franklin made regarding lab reports in his lecture and lab 1:
You will be working with a partner that will be assigned to you at the start of each lab.
A joint lab report may be submitted each week.
Each one of you is responsible for the entire report.
If you have a problem getting in touch with your partner after the lab, then you have to prepare the complete report by yourself.
Make sure that you have your own copy of all the data needed for the lab report. Bring with you to lab a USB memory stick and/or email data to yourself.
The lab reports should be concise and may be handwritten, but typed is preferred.
Remember: Part of the grade is based on neatness and clarity of presentation.
There is no need for excessive prose.
Just explain what you did in the lab, what the results were, what problems you encountered, and their possible reasons.
Show circuit designs and wiring diagrams.
Picture of your circuit can be used.
Present results of the measurements, such as electronic data, and compare them directly to theoretical predictions.
Make two copies of all plots and data files required to be turned in (one for you and one for your partner).
Label all of your plots in your lab reports. Make sure each plot has a meaningful title. Label clearly all axes (with the names of the variables) and give the units, etc. Identify clearly each curve so that your TA can easily understand the origin of all of your data that is displayed in the plots. You will lose points on your lab report for each plot that is not properly annotated.
You may email your lab (and pre-labs) to me (rcaranza@umd.edu). If you do so, I would please like for you to send it to me as a PDF file. I will try to reply and acknowledge that you sent me the lab so that you are sure I got it. Be sure to save a copy of the email with
