Abstract :
Describes the laboratory course contents of Signals and Linear Systems, the first practical activity in the control disciplines of the Automation and Control Engineering Undergraduate Program of the Systems and Automation Department at the Federal University of Santa Catarina/Brazil. The simulation laboratory provides students with important concepts regarding the analysis of discrete and continuous dynamic systems. Scientific programs such as Matlab/Simulink and VisSim have been utilized on experimental control stations to aid simulation activities in modeling, transient analysis, control, steady-state behavior and frequency response tasks. A short routine is presented for each experiment to be carried out in lab classes and reports. Lab experiments have yielded good results
