Midterm 2
Laboratory work
a) VI development in LabVIEW (Week 1-8)

c) Testing & Validation with Hardware-in-the-Loop approach (Week 12-13)
The aim of the course is an introduction to integrated electronic hardware design which includes the thorough component selection, circuit design and sizing steps, testing and validation. Students get familiar with the state-of-the-art instrument control and virtual instrumentation techniques which are used for the testing and validation of electronic components and equipment. The course also prepares the students to design, compose and maintain automated data acquisition, testing and validation systems. The principles of component selection, sizing and the fundamentals of design for testability are introduced through practical examples. During the lab practices, a concrete circuit is chosen to get familiar with the design, implementation and testing steps, and also with the software realization of the virtual instrumentation testbench.

General rules
Requirements:
a. Participation: according to the code of studies, at least 70% of the laboratory classes are compulsory
b. During the term: two mid-term tests in week 7 and in week 14 with 50% - 50% contribution to the final grade
c. Small-homework project
Requirement for granting the signature for both midterms: >= 2 (satisfactory) AND homework project is accepted.
Those students who get excellent (5) grade are eligible for CLAD (Certified LabVIEW Associate Developer) examination. Those who pass the exam are awarded by the CLAD certification.
Additional possibilities:
If a student fails to turn up at any mid-term tests, it can be repeated during the term. Failed mid-term test can only be repeated once. In principle there is no second repeat for the failed mid-term test. Late submission of the homework project in the repeat period is possible.
