Training and Development Module for a Digital Signal Processing Laboratory Módulo de Capacitación y Desarrollo para un Laboratorio de Procesamiento Digital de Señales

A digital signal processing training module (DSPTM) is constructed around a TMS320C6211 starter kit. The DSP target system is enclosed in a portable case with the necessary accessories: A host port interface connector, power supply, function generator, audio amplifier, speaker, input/output audio sockets and selector switches. DSP demonstration software is bundled with custom windows 98/XP virtual instrumentation programs that run on a host personal computer (PC). An installation and exercise manual accompanies the trainer. The developed host-target software and suggested experiments assist students in understanding data acquisition, DSP and image processing fundamentals. The open source nature of this software helps those who need to develop their own real-time algorithms. This DSPTM is an inexpensive way of reducing the gap between simulation and real-time implementation of DSP algorithms
