Purpose

The purpose of this blog is to be a journal for my independent study course. To be turned in at the end of the fall semester of 2007.

The journal is meant to be a log of what I've done as part of my internship and how it related to the furthering of my education.

Some More Detail

It looks like there are a few things that are going to be required for this project. I'm starting to see a combination of components that should take care of what needs to be done.

The list of what is needed:

Impedance selector for various cable terminations
Pulse generator
Frequency Counter
Microprocessor
USB interface to the computer
Software

Pulse Generator

I think that a Simple 555 timer can be used for this. It will have to be triggered in order to get the right kind of pulses that are needed.

The Purpose

The purpose of this blog is to document my progress as I design and then build my senior project during this school year.

I am a senior at Metro State College of Denver and it is a course requirement to keep some sort of journal to detail what we do. This was the ideal system.

Enjoy, if anyone else actually reads this.
