Installing a Sound Card

• Step 1
• Earth yourself and ensure the power supply has
  been removed.
• Step 2
• Remove outer case from CPU to allow access
• Step 3
• Place the sound card on top of a chosen slot.
  Gently push down the card
• so it sits into position, screw the card onto the
  case

Installing a Sound Card

• Step 4
• If the computer has a CD Rom drive fitted, its
  audio output can be
• connected to the sound card.
• Step 5
• Re-assemble the case, attach speakers to the
  cards output socket and
• switch on.

The Dynamometer
It is important to ensure that a vehicle is
running at optimum power and efficiency A key
consideration is whether the engine is producing
the expected amount of power In order to measure
this we use a Dynamometer
10
Put simply, a dynamometer places a load on the
engine and measures the amount of power that the
engine can produce against the load The
dynamometer is attached at some point in the
drive train (in agricultural equipment this is
normally a secondary drive shaft) The engine is
then run at a set rpm
11
Next the dynamometer is used to apply a load to
the engine. The amount of load applied is then
varied to reduce the rpm to different speeds. The
load the engine can support at a given rpm is
then used to calculate the power output at that
speed. The dynamometer actually measures the
torque of the engine. To calculate the
equivalent horsepower you simply multiply torque
by rpm/5,252

Work in progress

• Setting up video editing equipment at the second
  campus
• Rolling out DV training as part of the ILT staff
  development programme
• Providing guidelines/instructions on the college
  Intranet system
• Looking into DVD production for longer video
• Working with the media dept. to see if students
  can be given assignments to produce instructional
  video for BMC as part of their courses

14

• Optimising DV streaming over the college network
