Instruction for turning in labs
for COSC
3410 - Digital Logic Design
Section
07176 / 07178 / 07180
Spring 2000
For each lab you need to turn in the following items:
-
A 3.5 inch floppy diskette which contains folders and your
experiments / simulation files.
-
There should be a label on the disk with your name, lab no.,
and section no.
-
All related files should be placed in corresponding folders.
If you have more than one lab in one disk, please create separate folder
for each lab (like lab1, lab2, etc.)
-
Your name and a caption or general description should appear in all
files, including Graphic Design Files (.gdf), Simulator Channel
Files (.scf), VHDL files (.vhd), and other necessary files. Use "Text
Tool" (the icon with letter "A") to add your name and caption to GDF /
SCF files. Use "-- my comments" to add your name / general
description / comments for VHDL files.
-
A hard copy of your lab report which is consisted of
-
a cover with format like this
COSC 3410: Digital Logic Design
LAB No. <experiment number>: <title of the experiment>
Spring 2000
<lab section number>
<name of the lab instructor>
<student name>
<email address>
<date>
-
Objective: Describe the objective of the experiment.
-
Theory: Give the theoretical or formal basis of the design.
If the same theory applies to all questions, you don't have to write a
theory for each question.
-
Procedure: Outline the design and implementation procedure.
If the same procedure applies to one or more questions, you only need to
write down the procedure once.
-
Circuits Built: Describe the circuits built in this experiment.
Describe design inputs by using truth tables, schematics, or programs in
VHDL, whichever is appropriate for that particular experiment. Hand-drawn
truth tables and schematics are fine, but must be legible. No
need to print out Graphic Design Files (.gdf) and VHDL files (.vhd).
-
Test Results: You should run simulation for each question
(unless stated otherwise). No need to print out Schematic Channel
Files (.scf). Just make sure your name and a caption are included
for your SCF files.
-
Discussion: Answer questions listed in the lab instructions
and explain the significance of test results. Include any thoughts, comments,
or suggestions related to this experiment.
-
Avoid writing or drawing by hand. If unavoidable, make it as clean and
legible.
-
Quality of writing is important. Write precisely and concisely.
-
Stable all pages together.
-
an 8x12 inch manila envelope to hold everything together.
Write in large, bold letters on the outside: "COSC 3410 - Spring 2000",
your name, and section no.
Other requirements:
-
Late lab report will be penalized 10% each day. No lab report will
be accepted after next lab sessions. (In our case, it's likely to
be Monday if the due day is Wednesday.) No hard copy lab report will
be accepted during weekend, but you can e-mail me your files and report
(in one tar-ed, tar-gzip-ed, or zip-ed file with proper folders) during
the weekend.
-
When you turn in your lab report, couple questions will be asked related
to this lab experiment. Please do not drop your lab report and leave
without going through question session.
