The details about the Microprocessor Lab course objective and outcomes offered by Visveswaraya Technological University have been mentioned below.

Objective:

To make the student understand as well as have hands on-expertise of assembly language Programming and also interfacing of external devices to 8086 microprocessor using DOS Environment.

Outcome:

At the end of the Lab Course Student is able to:
• Proficiently use DOS assemblers like MASM, TASM
• Use the knowledge of the 8086 instruction set and utilize it in programming
• Perform Logical, Arithmetic, and Rotate/Shift operations on Data
• Understand and implement delay generation using 8086 instructions
• Understand different interfacing concepts and use of PPI (Add-on cards)
• Implement programming module of Keyboard, Stepper motor, Waveform generator (DAC), Seven Segment Display to work with x86 processor

Directions to the Students

1. Come prepared to the lab with relevant theory with regards to the experiment you are conducting.

2. Each experiment will be evaluated for 25 marks. More weightage will be given for preparation as well as understanding.

3. Handle the desktop system as well as interfacing boards with care

4. Do not delete or change the system settings as well as files.

5. For any missing items, penalty will be imposed on the particular batch.

6. Maintain professional attitude as well as discipline during lab sessions.
