Module DC Direct Current Circuit & System

MCM1/EV is one of the experiment boards that constitute the
Interactive Practical Electronics System – I.P.E.S.
It consists of a set of components and circuits for performing
experiments.
The lessons included in this module can be developed in:
- Standard mode: using the switches of the equipment and
consulting the handbook;
-Computerized mode: the interactive software version of
the handbook -  interfaced to the module via
Control Unit , is used. This software inserts circuit
variations and faults automatically enabling the development
of lessons even without teacher’s assistance.
