The purpose of this lab is to learn to use MultiSIM to construct and simulate oscillator circuits. Two oscillator circuits will be constructed and the effect of feedback resistance will be investigated in order to produce oscillation. Students will be asked to extend the concepts presented in order to modify the given circuit to allow for a variable output frequency.

Watch the video Week 6 – Oscillator Circuit
Read the section 11.3 and construct the two oscillator circuits in Figure 11.3 from the textbook and simulate the circuits.
Use the Agilent oscilloscope to observe the oscillations and measure the frequency.
Analyze the oscillations of Op-Amp and Comparator circuit and compare the Op-Amp circuit with that of the Comparator circuit.
Capture the screenshots showing oscillating output waveforms for each of the circuits.
Answer the following questions:
What is the difference between Op-Amp circuit and Comparator circuit?
Discuss some of the issues with this Op-Amp oscillations and explain the voltage swing and cause of potential failure of this circuit.
What makes the comparator circuit oscillate and more ideal for the applications?
Describe the operation of the comparator oscillator circuit and explain the difference in inverting and non-inverting waveforms of the comparator
What is the significance of using comparator circuit to achieve sinusoidal oscillations?
Create a new word document called “Lab6_StudentID.docx” with your GID substituted into the file name.
Verify all the measurements from simulation. Save the results and paste the screen captures in the word document. Make sure to answer the questions.
Upload file “Lab6_StudentID” in Blackboard.

Sexual Harrassment Prevention

Read Evaluating a Training Program (case study) on pages 160-166, and then answer the following questions:

Create 2 more SMART goals for this training
Explain what the mean for pre and post training means, why are these figures important?
Using the Kirkpatrick Evaluation Model did the training achieve the desired results? Why or why not?
Where any unexpected questions raised from this training? If so which questions? If not, why do you think the results were expected?
Which levels of information were collected and used in the Kirkpatrick Evaluation Model? Explain why or why not each level was or was not used.

Part B

The second phase of the activity involves making the visit and conducting the interviews. Following your interviews, prepare a statement of findings. This statement should contain a detailed list of the facts you have uncovered. (40 points) (A 2-page response is required.)

To help you in your data collection interview activity please consider the following set of questions to explore with the nursing home managers and staff.

Managers

1. How is the facility structured and organized?

2. What is the socio-medical profile of the typical resident?

3. What programs do you provide for the residents?

4. What are the most difficult problems you have experienced in running the facility?

5. What has been done to solve the problems?

6. What improvements would provide the most benefit to the programs and residents?

7. What are the greatest impediments to implementing these improvements?

Personal Care and Nursing Staff

Ratio Analysis

Calculate the current ratio, quick ratio, cash to current liabilities ratio, over a two-year period. Discuss and interpret the ratios that you calculated. Discuss potential liquidity issues based on your calculations of the current and quick ratios. Are there any factors that could be erroneously influencing the results of the ratios? Discuss liquidity issues of competitive companies within the same industry.

Recommendation

Based on your analysis, would you recommend an individual invest in this company? What strengths do you see? What risks do you see? It is perfectly acceptable to state that you would recommend avoiding this company, as long as you provide support for your position.
