Fall 2009 Notes
The first lab will be performed the week of Sept 7, 2009 as we are in the process of upgrading some of the equipment. I would strongly encourage you to carefully study the lab manuals.
In the past students inquired about writing software apart from Microsoft Word and Open Office. If you are interested in using TEX (Latex) to write your reports, I strongly encourage you to visit wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TeX) or CTAN (http://www.ctan.org) for more information and links.
You could use Texnic as the front end interface ( http://www.texniccenter.org/) but you need to install also Mikitex along with some other utilities such as a Postscript viewer. You can obtain GSview (gsv49w32.exe) from http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/gsview/get49.htm and you can obtain GPL Ghostscript 8.60 (gs860w32.exe) from http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/doc/GPL/gpl860.htm. The tutorials by Andrew Roberts provide a step by step introduction on how to develop documents (http://www.andy-roberts.net/misc/latex/).
Reminder: The instructor or GTA must sign your experimental data for every experiment performed before you leave the lab. Otherwise, your lab report will not be accepted for grading.
