Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)

1. The faculty will explain the theory of corresponding practical in brief.

2. Students will perform the experiment as per instructions given and lab manual.
3. Students will maintain a notebook for reading/results of the experiment and get its signed by the
lab instructor/faculty.
4. Lab report for each experiment shall be submitted for evaluation in the next week of performing
the experiment.
5. The performance of each experiment will be graded as per the policy.

General Instructions

Every lab requires preparation prior to performing the experiments. Students are required to perform this
preliminary work prior to coming to the lab. For this lab session your lab instructor will help you get
started.
1. Before starting of the laboratory the students are instructed with necessary safety and precautionary
measures that has to be adopted in any electronics laboratory.
2. Well-designed laboratory manual / instruction sheets are provided to students at the beginning of
the session for a particular lab.
3. It is extremely important for students to read equipment manual given to you before coming to the
laboratory. Failure to do so might result in your not being able to finish this lab session within the
allotted time.
4. Be sure that the power supply and ground connections are properly connected.
5. Verify your circuit before switching on the supply. (Do a node-by-node check)
6. Be sure that the supply voltages are correct as per the instructions.
7. Be sure that the measuring equipment is set up correctly and you are reading the correct
parameters.
8. If steps 4 through 7 are correct, then you probably have used a component with the wrong value or
one that doesn't work. It is also possible that the equipment does not work or the protoboard you
are using may have some unwanted paths between nodes.
9. Note the readings and result in reading notebook.

Safety Rules

Safety is always an important topic whenever laboratory work is being considered, and it is certainly true in
the case of Electronics and Communication Engineering labs. Safety is important.
1. Note the location of the Emergency Disconnect to shut off power in an emergency.
2. Students are allowed in the laboratory only when the lab instructor is present.
3. Open drinks and food are not allowed near the lab benches.
4. Report any broken equipment or defective parts to the lab instructor. Do not open, remove the
cover, or attempt to repair any equipment.
5. When the lab exercise is over, all instruments must be turned off. Return the issued
components/equipment to the lab instructor. Your lab grade will be affected if your laboratory
station is not tidy when you leave.
6. Institution property must not be taken from the laboratory.
7. Do not move instruments from one lab station to another lab station.
8. Do not tamper with or remove security straps, locks, or other security devices.
9. Anyone violating any rules or regulations may be denied access to lab facilities.

I have read and understood these rules and procedures. I agree to abide by these rules and procedures at all
