VI Programs (using LabVIEW software) to realize the following:
1 Basic arithmetic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division
2 Boolean operations: AND, OR, XOR, NOT and NAND
3 Sum of ‘n’ numbers using ‘for’ loop
4 Factorial of a given number using ‘for’ loop
5 Determine square of a given number
6 Factorial of a given number using ‘while ‘loop
7 Sorting even numbers using ‘while’ loop in an array
8 Finding the array maximum and array minimum Demonstration Experiments (For CIE)
9 Build a Virtual Instrument that simulates a heating and cooling system. The system must be able to be controlled manually or automatically.
10 Build a Virtual Instrument that simulates a Basic Calculator (using formula node).
11 Build a Virtual Instrument that simulates a Water Level Detector.
12 Demonstrate how to create a basic VI which calculates the area and perimeter of a circle.
Course outcomes (Course Skill Set):
At the end of the course the student will be able to:
1. Use Lab VIEW to create data acquisition, analysis and display operations
2. Create user interfaces with charts, graph and buttons
3. Use the programming structures and data types that exist in Lab VIEW
4. Use various editing and debugging techniques
Assessment Details (both CIE and SEE)
- The weightage of Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) is 50% and for Semester End Exam (SEE) is 50%.
- The minimum passing mark for the CIE is 40% of the maximum marks (20 marks).
- A student shall be deemed to have satisfied the academic requirements and earned the credits allotted to each course. The student has to secure not less than 35% (18 Marks out of 50) in the semester-end examination (SEE).
Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE):
CIE marks for the practical course is 50 Marks.
The split-up of CIE marks for record/ journal and test are in the ratio 60:40.
- Each experiment to be evaluated for conduction with observation sheet and record write-up. Rubrics for the evaluation of the journal/write-up for hardware/software experiments designed by the faculty who is handling the laboratory session and is made known to students at the beginning of the practical session.
- Record should contain all the specified experiments in the syllabus and each experiment write-up will be evaluated for 10 marks.
- Total marks scored by the students are scaled downed to 30 marks (60% of maximum marks).
- Weightage to be given for neatness and submission of record/write-up on time.
- Department shall conduct 02 tests for 100 marks, the first test shall be conducted after the 8th week of the semester and the second test shall be conducted after the 14th week of the semester.
- In each test, test write-up, conduction of experiment, acceptable result, and procedural knowledge will carry a weightage of 60% and the rest 40% for viva-voce.
- The suitable rubrics can be designed to evaluate each student’s performance and learning ability. Rubrics suggested in Annexure-II of Regulation book
- The average of 02 tests is scaled down to 20 marks (40% of the maximum marks). The Sum of scaled-down marks scored in the report write-up/journal and average marks of two tests is the total CIE marks scored by the student.
Semester End Evaluation (SEE):
SEE marks for the practical course is 50 Marks. SEE shall be conducted jointly by the two examiners of the same institute, examiners are appointed by the University
- All laboratory experiments are to be included for practical examination.
- (Rubrics) Breakup of marks and the instructions printed on the cover page of the answer script to be strictly adhered to by the examiners. OR based on the course requirement evaluation rubrics shall be decided jointly by examiners.
- Students can pick one question (experiment) from the questions lot prepared by the internal /external examiners jointly.
- Evaluation of test write-up/ conduction procedure and result/viva will be conducted jointly by examiners.
- General rubrics suggested for SEE are mentioned here, writeup-20%, Conduction procedure and result in -60%, Viva-voce 20% of maximum marks. SEE for practical shall be evaluated for 100 marks and scored marks shall be scaled down to 50 marks (however, based on course type, rubrics shall be decided by the examiners) Change of experiment is allowed only once and 15% Marks allotted to the procedure part to be made zero. The duration of SEE is 03 hours Rubrics suggested in Annexure-II of Regulation book
