Catalog Description:
Untitled document
Introduction to BASIC language and how to use it to analyze electronic circuits. Programs will be developed on IBM-compatible computers, paralleling and validating theory presented in the first year of the electronics program. Course begins with statements, commands, and functions of BASIC and progresses to applications used in the electronic industry, including direct and alternating resistive circuits, frequencies resonate circuits, transistor biasing circuits, operational amplifiers, filters, and gate arrays. No programming experience is required.
