The Emona DATEx and Emona FOTEx are add-on boards that extend the NI Educational Laboratory Virtual Instrumentation Suite (NI ELVIS) platform for teaching introductory telecommunications. The DATEx focuses on digital and analog communications fundamentals, while the FOTEx teaches concepts related to fiber-optic telecommunications.
Both the DATEx and FOTEx feature a hands-on, block diagram approach in which students build and measure communications systems that correspond to communications system block diagrams commonly found in textbooks. Working from block diagrams, students create communications circuits by wiring together system components with plug-in patch cables.
Compatible with NI ELVIS, NI ELVIS II, and NI ELVIS II+, the DATEx and FOTEx work with NI ELVIS instruments to supply the stimulus and measure response of the communication circuits built by students.
The DATEx and FOTEx include high-quality lab manuals with experiments that feature background information and step-by-step instructions. Written by an experienced telecommunications educator, the high-quality manuals can be used immediately or can serve as the foundation for custom experiments.
The DATEx and FOTEx cover complementary topics and can be used together or independently, depending on your teaching objectives.
