Understanding Signals with the PropScope Book/Kit
Understanding Signals with the PropScope is a forthcoming Stamps in Class textbook that utilizes the PropScope to examine signals in a variety of circuits and applications from our library of Stamps in Class textbooks. It will have a kit that is similar to the existing Understanding Signals kit, with a few circuit additions. The final text will be about 350 pages, and there will be additional materials reserved for instructors to develop homework, quizzes, tests, and labs.

Live links will take you to discussions of each chapter draft. A chapter draft .pdf is attached to the first post of each discussion. Some .pdf files were too over the 2 MB/post limit, so they are split into two files with links in the first post. If a link below is not live, it means the chapter has not yet been posted. All chapters should be posted by mid August.
