Finite State Machines
This project-based lab will give students an understanding of finite state machines and their various applications. Students will produce subcircuits using Multisim and the NI Digital Systems Development Board to simulate single and two way traffic signals. Comprehension of clock signals and counters are reinforced in this lab.

Digital Electronics.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
In this lab, students will:
- Gain an awareness of the different methods and components used to create traffic lights.
- Create a truth table to explore how a circuit behaves in three distinct states.
- Produce sub circuits to simulate of both single and two-way traffic signals.
- Reinforce understanding of the workings of clock signals and counters.
- Use the NI ELVISmx Function Generator
