Signals Virtual Lab (SVL) Suite demo (advanced)

A demo video is shown below to put the potentials of the SVL suite into prospective. The video shows the SVL suite being used in examining the signals sampling and reconstruction. One major improvement when compare to the SVL suite's first release is the fact that users can draw connections between devices as if they were using Simulink, however, the customized characteristics of the individual GUI remains. In other words, the SVL suite utilizes the connection functionality of Simulink, but retains the same GUI for each device.

In the video, the function generator output is fed to a signal splitter, with one splitter output going to the oscilloscope, and the other going into the sampling box. One by one, the sampling waveform and the sampled signal are examined using the oscilloscope. To reconstruct the original signal, the sampled signal then goes through a low-pass filter. Spectrum of the various signals are observed.

Note that as long as the function generator and oscilloscope are used, any Signals lab can be transformed into the virtual lab if the corresponding signal processing components are created.
