  • Learn how to use the T-shooter in the Practice Mode.
Experiment 2: Thevenin's Theorem
  • Download the T-shooter for Chap. 1 if you have not already done so.
  • Start the Launcher. Then, go to the Lab Menu and select Exp 2.
  • Learn how to use the T-shooter in the Test Mode.
Experiment 3: Troubleshooting
  • Download the T-shooter for Chap. 1 if you have not already done so.
  • Start the Launcher. Then, go to the Lab Menu and select Exp 1.
  • Take the troubleshooting test.
  • Repeat the test until your score equals or exceeds the Expert score.
Experiment 4: Semiconductor Diodes
  • Read about Up-down Analyzers on page 76 and 77 in your textbook.
  • Download the Up-down Analyzer for Exp 4.
  • Start the Launcher. Then, go to the Lab Menu and select Exp 4.
  • Learn how to use the Up-down Analyzer.
Experiment 5: The Diode Curve
  • Download the Up-down Analyzer for Exp 5 if you have not already done so.
  • Start the Launcher. Then, go to the Lab Menu and select Exp 5.
  • Use the Up-down Analyzer to solve the following problems:
    • Problem 1: What is the load current when VS = 24 V, VK = 0.7 V, RB = 10 ohms, and RL = 2.2 kohms?
    • Problem 2: What is the diode power when VS = 15 V, VK = 0.7 V, RB = 2 ohms, and RL = 470 ohms?
    • Problem 3: Design a circuit that meets these specifications: PL = 500 mW with a supply voltage of 12 V and a 1N4001.
Experiment 6: Diode Approximations
  • Download the Up-down Analyzer for Exp 6 if you have not already done so. (Note: this program is the same as the Up-down Analyzer of Chap. 3 in the Text programs.)
  • Start the Launcher. Then, go to the Lab Menu and select Exp 6.
  • Use the Up-down Analyzer to solve the following problems.
  • Remember to click the HOME button before starting each problem.
    • Problem 1: What is the load current if VS is changed to 48 V?
    • Problem 2: What is the current through R1 if R2 is changed to 10 ohms?
    • Problem 3: For what value of R3 does P3 equal 359 microwatts?
    • Problem 4: Design a circuit that meets these specifications: VS = 9 V, R1 = 2.2 kohms, R3 = 10 kohms, and V3 = 4 V. For this problem, design means finding the correct value of R3.
