Laboratory Handouts
It is important that you print out a copy of the handouts, and read over the notes BEFORE the lab.
Laboratory experiments for the course:
Introductory Lab: In this lab you will be covering the basics of instrumentation both hardware and software components.
You go from learning how to operate the various instruments used in the course to designing and
implementing your own isolated preamplifier to be used for the upcoming experiments. This lab is
designed to take 3 weeks.
Additional Notes on Noise Figure
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lab 1 -
Electromyography:
This lab will cover the fundamentals of EMG and correlate EMG to force. The lab
is designed to take 2 weeks.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lab 2 - Electrocardiography: In this lab you will be using the ECG signal from the heart to develop a heart rate monitor. The lab is
designed to take 2 weeks.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lab 3 - MRI: This lab will investigate the properties of Pulsed Magnetic Resonance which is a precursor for MRI. There is only one piece of
equipment so each group will have a 3 hour session to complete the lab.
Below are the different sections of the instruction manual for the Teachspin PNMR Instrument. Thoroughly read and understand this information prior to the lab..
MRI Pre-Lab Exercises - This will be due the day you start the lab section.
MRI Post-Lab Exercises - This will be due 1 week from the day you complete the lab section.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lab 4 - Micro fluidics: Again, only 1 piece of equipment so schedule will be similar to the MRI section.
Post-Lab Exercises - see lab handout. This will be due 1 week from the day you complete the lab section.
Amplifier Calibration Curve - Use for converting the voltage values you obtain to pressure measurements.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lab5 - EMG Communication: This will be an expansion lab of the one you previously did for the EMG project. It will involve using an EMG signal to control a text selection in your Labview VI. It will be necessary to demonstrate this lab to the GSI. You must successfully select / spell 10 words within 1 minute. This lab will run concurrently with the MRI and Microfluidics labs. For the days in which you are not working on Lab 3 or 4, you should be working to complete the EMG Communication lab as well as beginning work on your project.
