We take the steps necessary.

It can cost thousands of dollars to buy a scan generator. I think in our lab we bought one for 40k USD. This price includes a powerful computer to accompany the scan generator. Still, the scan generator is just a DAC board. The DAC board itself can be bought for around

To do !

Designing a digital filter is very interesting because:

  • This design method is not very precise, but it’s super intuitive.
  • For some reason, it’s not common knowledge.
  • It boils downto designing p-th order difference equations, and this is directly related to ARMA processes, which has deep roots in time series analysis, and other finance related topics.

We aim the circuit to run in real-time.

Basys3 board already has a built-in ADC. This is how we get the audio input. Basys3 board does not have an audio DAC on board. There are tricks to make it work with 4-bit DAC that is responsible for the VGA output. However, this is not suitable for (high quality) audio applications.

Therefore we are using an external DAC board. Link to the DAC board can be found here: link

def print_hi(name)
  puts "Hi, #{name}"
end
print_hi('Tom')
#=> prints 'Hi, Tom' to STDOUT.
