EE422G Signals and Systems LaboratoryIntroductory Exercises (Matlab, Simulink, and LabVIEW)Kevin D. Donohue September 8, 2010The following exercises are designed to introduce you to the 3 software packages used in the laboratory assignments for this course. You will learn how to access the help files and design simple programs through the Getting Started tutorials for each package. There is no grade for this lab exercise, but take advantage of this time enhance your skills and knowledge with each package to save time and frustrationon future lab assignments. I recommend taking turns at the keyboard and mouse, unless someone is already very familiar with these packages. In that case you should allow someone else to access the software package and help them out. Along the way it is good to try things not in the tutorial (i.e. “what if” questions) to see if the programs behave in accordance with your predictions.1. LabVIEW from National InstrumentsThis package has dominated data acquisition applications in industry. In recent years it has developed some very sophisticated programming options as well. For this exercise, launch the LabVIEW program and follow the instructions for the “Getting started with LabVIEW Virtual Instruments.” You will create a function generator, adding controlsand indicators to the user interface on the CONTROL PANNEL and functionality to the simulations of the waveforms through programming g-codes on the BLOCK DIAGRAM.Once you have completed the function generator (2 SAW waves at different scalings) demonstrate it works to the TA.2. Matlab from MathworksThis package has dominated engineering and scientific program applications for prototyping algorithms, simulation, and scientific computing. In recent years it has developed powerful data acquisition interfaces and code translators to port the code to various hardware platforms.For this exercise, go to the help window on Matlab and then click on the Demo Tab. Expand the Matlab folder (if necessary).A) View the 5 minute video on Writing a Matlab Program (3rd video). Make sure the sound is on, since verbal instructions are given.B) Run the demo for using the FFT in MatlabC) Run the demo for FFT for spectral analysis (important since your programming exercise will be like this script).D) Run the demo for Graphs and MatricesE) Run the demo for 2D PlotsF) Run the demo for 3D PlotsG) Run the demo for Lines plots (GUI)H) Run the demo for Visualizing Sound (GUI)I) Run the demo for Images and MatricesJ) Run the demo for Square Wave from Sine WavesK) Do not run the Minesweeper and Sliding Puzzle demo, they will lower your IQ.1Your programming assignment:Down load the mat file from http://www.engr.uky.edu/~donohue/ee422/Data/ee422sig.matto your current directory. Then load into your work space with the “>> load ee422sig.mat” command, 3 variables will be loaded in your workspace (type “whos” to see): Name Size Bytes Class Attributes fs 1x1 8 double sig 1x2000 16000 double t 1x2000 16000 double SIG is a sampled sound wave consisting for 2 sinusoids in noise, and T is the corresponding time axis. The signal was sampled at FS (FS is the sampling rate). The time waveform can be plotted with >>plot(t,sig).You need to write a script that will take the FFT of SIG to determine the frequencies of the 2 sinusoids in the noisy signal. Show the TA your fft magnitude plot when finished, as well as telling him the frequencies you detected.3. SimulinkSimulink is a graphical programming language the runs on Matlab and is good for simulating control, signal processing, and communications systems.For this exercise go the “Getting Started” help for Simulink and build the model in the “creating asimple model” section, through the CONTENTS tab in the help window. Once built, save it and simulate it. The result is a sine wave generator. The default frequency is w=1 rad/sec, change it to 10 rad/sec and show the TA it
