THEORY
Word is a powerful tool for writing, editing and printing documents of all kinds.
From memos to book manuscript, from outlines to letters, from screen plays to news
letters. A user can work on several documents at once and it takes much of the drudgery
out of tasks such as footnoting, cross-referencing, indexing and formatting.
Word provides all these facilities through its different menus and toolbars, whose
description is given below:
1- File Menu
The File Menu is used to open and close documents and other files, finds desired files on
the disk, print a document or preview how it will look like when printed and exit word.

Boolean Function by logic gates Lab # 5
LAB #5
BOOLEAN FUNCTION BY LOGIC GATES
Objective:
Reproduce the following Boolean functions using basic logic gates.
a) A + A’B
b) AB + BC (B +C)
c) ((A + BC)’ + (A.B’)’)’
Software Required:
Electronic Workbench
Theory:
Boolean Algebra Expressions can be used to construct digital logic truth tables for their
respective functions. As well as a standard Boolean Expression, the input and output
information of any Logic Gate or circuit can be plotted into a standard table to give a
visual representation of the switching function of the system. The table used to represent
the Boolean expression of a logic gate function is commonly called a Truth Table. A
logic gate truth table shows each possible input combination to the gate or circuit with the
resultant output depending upon the combination of these input(s).
Experiment:
Construct the circuit as shown in Figure 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3. Apply inputs A, B, C and check
the output F then complete the truth table 3-1 to 3-3 for the given Boolean function.
a) A + A’B

Familiarization with MS-DOS and command prompt LAB#8
LAB # 8
FAMILIARIZATION WITH MS-DOS AND COMMAND PROMPT
OBJECT
To get familiar with MS-DOS and command prompt and execute basic commands.
THEORY
Before there was Windows,there was the Microsoft Disk Operating System commonly referred to as
MS-DOS. There was also a popular operating system called UNIX, but it was more popular with
scientists and supercomputer users, while many of the “ordinary folk” used MS-DOS. Whereas
Windows has a lovely graphical user interface, DOS was all done with text commands. That is, you
typed out what you wanted the computer to do. Later the Windows operating system was built on top
of DOS, so that DOS commands would run in the background, corresponding to how one interacted
with the graphical interface. For example, if you click and dragged a file to a folder to move it, Windows
would literally run the corresponding move command in DOS. Something similar to DOS still lives on
in Windows 10, and that Is what we'll be looking at today.
Windows Command Prompt:
Command Prompt is officially called Windows Command Processor, but it's also sometimes referred
to as the command shell or cmd prompt, or even by its filename, cmd.exe.
How to Access Command Prompt:
There are several ways to open Command Prompt, but the "normal" method is via the Command
Prompt shortcut located in the Start menu or on the Apps screen, depending on your version of
Windows.
• Go to search bar in taskbar
• Type cmd to open the command prompt.

THEORY
What is wireless Communication?
In this modern era, Wireless and Telecommunication have become an integral part of each other
to provide wireless communication to common man that helps people located in any part of the
world communicate easily. Wireless communication technology transmits information over the
air using electromagnetic waves like IR (Infrared), RF (Radio Frequency), satellite, etc. For
example, GPS, Wi-Fi, satellite television, wireless computer parts, wireless phones that include
3G and 4G networks, and Bluetooth.
Types of Wireless and Telecommunication
The different types of wireless and telecommunication technologies include:
Infrared (IR) wireless communication: This type of communication is mainly used for short
and medium-range communication where information between devices or systems are
transferred through infrared (IR) radiation, which is an electromagnetic energy that has a
longer wavelength. You must select a system that must operate as a transmitter (source) and
a receiver (destination). Note that there must be no obstruction between the source and the
destination. Examples of source and destination include mobile phones, televisions, security
systems etc.
Satellite Communication: In this mode of communication, signal is sent to the satellite,
which the satellite amplifies and sends it back to the antenna receiver which is located on the
surface of the earth. Satellite communication mainly contains two components: space segment
and ground segment. Example: Radio communication.
Wi-Fi: This mode of communication uses routers to transfer information wirelessly and
thereby allows users within the proximity of the router to access the network. These networks
must be protected with passwords for security, otherwise intruders can access the network
posing threat to sensitive information. Example: Electronic devices like smart phones, laptops,
etc use Wi-Fi networks.
Mobile Communication Systems: In this mode of communication, users use mobile phones
to communicate across a single frequency band. Example: Cellular and cordless phones.

Familiarization with the Network Simulator LAB#11
LAB # 11
FAMILIARIZATION WITH THE NETWORK
SIMULATOR
OBJECTIVE
To operate and become familiar with the network simulator Packet Tracer
SIMULATION
Simulation is the imitation of some real thing, state of affairs, or process. The act of
simulating something generally entails representing certain key characteristics or
behaviours of a selected physical or abstract system.
Simulation is used in many contexts, including the modeling of natural systems or
human systems in order to gain insight into their functioning. Other contexts include
simulation of technology for performance optimization, safety engineering, testing,
training and education. Simulation can be used to show the eventual real effects of
alternative conditions and courses of action.
Key issues in simulation include acquisition of valid source information about the
relevent selection of key characteristics and behaviours, the use of simplifying
approximations and assumptions within the simulation, and fidelity and validity of the
simulation outcomes.
