Notes and tests:

  1. Put the sound sensor on the side closest to the lab interface for easy plug-in.
  2. Load the test file “2306 Lab 2 test.cap”.
  3. Make a sound near the sound sensor and see if it registers on the display.
  4. Check that the temperature probe reads room temperature (about 20-24 degrees C).
  5. Make sure all screws and endcaps are in place on the sound tubes.
