Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

II. NI ELVIS II DEVICES
This chapter provides an overview of the devices present in the NI ELVIS II Series workstation. These devices can be
controlled by software to include soft front panel (SFP) instruments, LabVIEW Express VIs, and SignalExpress blocks. For the
purposes of the ECE department, the use of NI ELVIS II Series with SFP instruments will be discussed exclusively. A NI
ELVISmx SFP, as the name implies, is the software version of the front panel of an NI ELVIS device.
A. NI ELVISmx Instrument Launcher:
The NI ELNIS Instrument Launcher provides access to the NI ELVISmx SFP instruments. Launch the Instrument Launcher by
navigating to Start>>All Program Files>>National Instruments>>NI ELVISmx>>NI ELVISmx Instrument Launcher. This
opens the GUI shown in Figure 4. To launch an instrument, click the button corresponding to the desired instrument. Before
opening a SFP, the workstation should be powered with the USB READY light lit, otherwise an error occurs. If said error occurs,
close SFP, power on the workstation, check connection to host PC, and open SFP again.
Figure 4. NI ELVISmx Instrument Launcher
8. B. DMM (Digital Multimeter)
This commonly used instrument is used to measure voltage (DC and AC), current (DC and AC), resistance, capacitance,
inductance. Additionally it used for diode tests and audible continuity tests. The DMM SFP is shown in Figure 5.
The top row of nine buttons denotes the different DMM modes, namely from left to right: DC voltage measurement, AC voltage
measurement, DC current measurement, AC current measurement, resistance measurement, capacitance measurement, inductance
measurement, diode continuity and audible continuity. An explanation of the labeled controls is as follows.
1. Display: This is when the current measurement is displayed. The “%FS” bar shows the percentage of the current range that
is being used. The higher the percentage, the more accurate the result (see 8 for more details).
2. Modes: These rows of buttons are used to the select the operation the user would like the digital multimeter to perform.
3. Connections: shows where to connect the signal or device to be measured.
4. Acquisition mode: This selection determines whether the user wants the digital multimeter to keep measuring indefinitely
(continuously) or just taking one measurement and stop.
5. Help: The button brings up the contest help and the online help for the soft front panel instrument.
6. Run/Stop: These buttons are used to start data acquisition (Run) and to stop data acquisition (Stop).
7. Null offset: This is an important control of the SFP. Say the user is taking small magnitude measurements and the “null”
value (value with nothing connected) is substantial enough to affect the data readings. By clicking the null offset button at
“null”, all subsequent measurements are made relative to the measurement when the button was pressed, which will
improve the accuracy of the measurements. It is not advisable to offset null for AC voltage measurements.
8. Mode: Selects between “Auto” and “Manual” ranging of the instrument. It is recommended to use the “Auto” ranging
(default). If “Manual” is selected, then the Range menu is enabled and different ranges can be selected.
Figure 5. DMM SFP with important controls labeled
1) DC and AC voltage measurements
These modes are selected when user requires measurements of time invariant (DC) voltage and time varying (AC) current
respectively. The measurements are made in terms of DC Voltage (VDC) and RMS Voltage (VAC) respectively. The signal
connections for both modes are the same. The positive end is connected to the red voltage, resistance, and diode banana jack shown
in feature 3 in Table 1. The negative end is connected to the black common banana jack (COM) also shown in feature 3 in Table 1.
2) DC and AC current measurements
These modes are selected when user requires measurements of time invariant current and time varying current respectively. The
measurements are made in terms of DC amperes (IDC) and Ampere RMS (IAC) respectively. The signal connections for both
9. modes are the same. The positive end is connected to the red current banana jack (A) shown in feature 3 in Table 1. The negative
end is connected to the black common banana jack (COM) also shown in feature 3 in Table 1.
3) Resistance Measurement
This mode is used when user requires the resistance of a device under test. The measurements are made in terms of ohms (Ω).
The device connections are the same as that of the DC and AC voltage measurements.
4) Capacitance and Inducatnace Measurement
This mode is selected when user requires the capacitance and inductance of a device respectively. The measurements are made
in terms of Farads (F) and Henry (H) respectively. The positive end of the device under test should be connected to the pin “DUT+”
on the prototyping board, shown in feature 3 in Table 2. The negative end of the device under test should be connected to the pin
“DUT-” on the prototyping board, also shown in feature 3 in Table 2.
5) Diode
This mode is selected when the user wants to determine the terminals of a diode (i.e. whether the device is forward-biased or
reverse-biased). The multimeter indicates when the device under test is open or closed. The device connections are the same as that
of the DC and AC voltage measurement.
6) Continuity
This mode is selected when the user wishes to determine if two nodes (or pin sockets) are at the same potential (or tied
together). If said nodes are connected together, an audible cue is given and additionally the display shows “Closed”. Otherwise
there is no audible cue and the display shows “Open”.
C. Scope (Oscilloscope)
The oscilloscope is a device that displays signal voltages as a two-dimensional graph of electrical potential differences (vertical
axis) plotted as a function of time (horizontal axis). Though time-invariant (DC) voltages can be displayed, this device is commonly
used to display time-varying voltage signals. The NI ELVISmx Oscilloscope consists of two channels, Channel 0 and Channel 1,
which can automatically connect to up to ten (10) sources. Shown below is the Scope SFP in Figure 6, as well as an explanation of
the important controls.
1. Scope Graph: displays the waveforms specified in Channel 0 and Channel 1 as well as the cursors (see 9). The bottom of
the scope graph displays various signal characteristics (“CH 0 Meas.” and “CH1 Meas.”). These characteristics include root
mean square (RMS), frequency (Freq) and the peak to peak amplitude (Vp-p). These measurements are only shown if the
channel is enabled (see parts 2 and 8).
2. Channel Settings: as previously stated there are two oscilloscope channels Channel 0 and Channel 1. Channel settings
allow the user to specify the source signal that will be displayed for each channel. The choices include SCOPE CH 0 and
SCOPE CH 1 BNC input channels (see feature 4 in Table 1) or AI<0…7> input signal rows (see feature 2 in Table 2). The
Enabled box below the channel settings allow the user to specify which channels to display in the scope graph.
3. Probe and Coupling: The probe setting is dependent on what kind of probe is being used to measure the signal voltage. The
two available settings are “1×” and “10×”. Unless specified, use the “1×” setting. In some case the signal being measured is
the sum of a time-varying voltage and a DC signal. If the user chooses to display only the AC part of the signal then the
coupling setting can be changed to “AC”. This setting will display only the AC part of the signal. The “AC” setting is not
available for signals measured with the AI channels (See part 4).
4. Volts/Div (Vertical sensitivity) and Vertical Position: The Volts/Div knob or drop-down menu allows the user to choose the
y-axis (voltage axis) scale. The Vertical Position knob or numerical input allows the user to adjust the zero cross (or Y axis
positioning of the displayed waveform). The user is most likely to use this control when the waveform is the sum of time
varying signal and a DC signal (see part 3).
5. Trigger: This oscilloscope features triggered sweeps. A triggered sweep starts (begins data acquisition) at a selected point
on a trigger signal, providing a stable display. The scope has three settings: Immediate, in which there is no external trigger
signal and the data acquisition begins immediately; Digital, in which acquisition begins on the rising edge or fall edge
(Slope setting) of an external digital signal; Edge, in which data acquisition begins when an internal or external signal
crosses a specified threshold (Level (V) setting). For the Digital setting, the trigger signal source is the TRIG BNC input
channel (see feature 4 in Table 1). For the Edge setting, the choices of signal sources are the Chan 0, Chan 1 or the TRIG
BNC input channel.
6. Log: allows the user to take a snapshot of the waveform(s) displayed on the scope graph and save the waveform as a .csv
file which allows for the plotting of displayed waveforms in other programs such as Matlab and Excel.
7. Timebase (Horizontal sensitivity): The Time/Div control knob and menu allows the user to choose the time-axis scale.
10. 8. Display Measurements: Allows the user to select which channel measurements to display at the bottom of the scope graph
(see part 1).
9. Cursor Settings: allows the user to display up to two cursors on the scope graph. The cursor position is then displayed at the
bottom of the scope graph. The cursors can be moved horizontally by clicking the cursor and dragging it along the time
axis. The user can also select which of the two channels, Chan 0 and Chan 1, are associated with the two cursors.
Figure 6. DMM SFP with important controls labeled
D. FGEN (Function Generator)
The function generator is a device that generates time varying waveforms. The NI ELVISmx Function generator is generally
used to generate a periodic voltage signal in the form of a sine wave, a triangular wave or a square wave. The function generator
output can be obtained via two routes: the FGEN BNC output channel (see feature 4 in Table 1) or the FGEN prototyping board pin
sockets (see feature 3 in Table 2). Shown below is the FGEN SFP in Figure 7, as well as an explanation of the important controls.
The FGEN signal is referenced with respect to GROUND.
Figure 7. FGEN SFP with important controls labeled
11. 1. Frequency Display: displays the frequency of the output waveform. When the function generator is off, “OFF” is displayed.
2. Waveform Selectors: allows the user to select what type of waveform is generated. The choices are sine wave, triangular
wave and square wave.
3. Waveform characteristics: the characteristics of the output waveform can be selected by the user. These characteristics
include: Frequency, peak-to-peak amplitude, DC offset, duty cycle that is only enabled when square wave is selected as the
waveform type, and adjusts the turn-on to turn-off ratio of the wave, and the modulation type which controls the type of
modulation (Amplitude or Frequency with the corresponding inputs shown in feature 3 in Table 2). Note that the time-
varying component of the output waveform is symmetrical with a peak amplitude of one-half the peak-to-peak
amplitude.
4. Sweep Settings: The NI ELVIS II function generator has the capability to modulate the frequency automatically, based on
user specified Sweep Settings. The sweep setting controls include: Start Frequency which specifies the starting frequency
for the frequency sweep; Stop Frequency which specifies the frequency at which the frequency sweep stops; Step which
specifies the frequency interval between each frequency iteration during a frequency sweep; and Step Interval which
specifies the time interval for each frequency iteration (see part 7).
5. Manual Mode: The NI ELVIS II function generator allows the user to manually adjust the output waveform frequency and
amplitude (see feature 6 in Table 1). This mode should be used when a high accuracy of a time varying signal is desired or
if an undesired DC offset is observed when in automatic mode, even though the DC offset is set to zero.
6. Signal Route. Allows the user to select where to route the generated signal. The choices are the FGEN BNC output channel
(see feature 4 in Table 1) or the FGEN prototyping board pin sockets (see feature 3 in Table 2).
7. Sweep: allows the user to enable a frequency sweep (see part 4).
E. VPS (Variable Power Supply)
The variable power supply consists of two channels that supply adjustable output voltages from 0 to +12V on the SUPPLY+
channel and 0 to -12V on the SUPPLY- channel. The SUPPLY+ and SUPPLY- channels are available as prototyping board signal
rows (see feature 3 in Table 2). The output voltages are referenced to GROUND. Shown below is the VPS SFP in Figure 8, as well
as an explanation of the important controls.
Figure 8. VPS SFP with important controls labeled
12. 1. Voltage Display: displays the output voltage of the SUPPLY+ and SUPPLY- signal rows when a Supply in automatic
mode. When a Supply in Manual mode, the “Measure Supply Outputs” control is visible. This control enables the displayed
of the selected manual voltage (see part 2). Otherwise the output voltage is not displayed when a supply is in Manual mode.
2. Manual Mode: The NI ELVIS II Variable Power Supply allows the user to manually adjust the output voltage (see part 1)
of the supply channels. Note that a Supply in automatic mode is not as accurate as a Supply in manual mode. As previously
stated in part 1, it is possible to display the manually adjusted output voltage by enabling the “Measure Supply Outputs”
control. Note that when the “Measure Supply Outputs” control is enabled, all other analog voltage measurements are
disabled, to include: DMM voltage measurements, Oscilloscope measurements and all cursor measurements.
3. Output voltage controls: allows the user to adjust the SUPPLY+ and SUPPLY- output voltages, when in automatic mode.
The RESET control allows the user sets the voltage of the Supply to zero.
4. Sweep Settings: The NI ELVIS II function generator has the capability to modulate the output voltage automatically, based
on user specified Sweep Settings. The sweep setting controls include: Supply Source which specifies on which Supply
channel the voltage sweep is executed; Start Voltage which specifies the starting output voltage for the voltage sweep; Stop
Voltage which specifies the voltage at which the voltage sweep stops; Step which specifies the voltage interval between
each voltage iteration during a voltage sweep; and Step Interval which specifies the time interval for each voltage iteration
(see part 5).
5. Sweep: allows the user to begin a voltage sweep (see part 4).
F. Bode (Bode Analyzer)
A bode analyzer describes the frequency response of a circuit-under-test (e.g. a low pass RC filter) by displaying the Gain (in
dB) and Phase (degrees) of the circuit-under-test as a function of frequency. The NI ELVISmx Bode analyzer uses the Function
generator to output a stimulus and then uses two input channels to measure the circuit response and stimulus and computes the Gain
(in dB) and Phase (degrees) of the system under test based on the measured signals. The FGEN signal row (see Section D) and a
GROUND signal row is connected to the AI 1± signal rows. The signal output and a GROUND signal row is connected to AI 0±
signal rows. Shown below is the Bode SFP in Figure 9, as well as an explanation of the important controls.
Figure 9. Bode SFP with important controls labeled
13. 1. Gain Display: displays the Bode gain (in dB) and Bode phase (in degrees) graphs for the circuit under test. These signals
are plotted against frequency measured in Hz. Also displayed, if enabled, are measurement cursors that can be moved
horizontally by clicking any cursor and dragging it along the frequency axis
2. Measurement Settings: As previously stated a bode plot is the representation of the response of a circuit at different
frequencies in terms of gain and phase. For this reason, a frequency sweep must be performed. The NI ELVISmx Bode
analyzer sweeps the frequency in a logarithmic fashion as opposed to linear fashion (i.e. the logarithm of the frequency is
swept linearly instead of the actual frequency). These controls allows the user to specify the sweep parameters in terms of:
Start Frequency which specifies the starting frequency for the frequency sweep; Stop Frequency which specifies the
frequency at which the frequency sweep stops; Step (per decade) which specifies the number of evenly spaced points to
sweep per decade (A decade in the logarithmic sense represents multiplication by 10 from the previous value); Peak
Amplitude which specifies the peak amplitude of the stimulus (the FGEN output signal). It is recommended that a high
amplitude signal be used to drive passive circuits for improved accuracy and a relatively smaller signal be used to drive
circuits with high gain to avoid saturating the circuit; Op-amp Signal polarity which can be Normal or Inverted, and allows
Select Inverted to invert the measured values of the stimulus signal during Bode analysis. This choice affects only the phase
plot and is used to zero the phase shift for an inverting circuit.
3. Graph Settings: This set of controls allows the user to select between a linear and logarithmic scale for the Gain graph. The
default is logarithmic.
4. Cursor Settings: These set of controls give the user the choice of enabling measurement cursors on the Gain and Phase plots
and precise control of the cursors via the Left and Right buttons (see part 5)
5. Measurement display: displays the gain (linear and in dB), phase and frequency of the current measurement point during a
frequency sweep or cursor movement (see part 4).
G. DSA (Dynamic Signal Analyzer)

K. Imped (Impedance Analyzer)
The Impedance Analyzer is a device capable of measuring the resistance and reactance of a passive two-wire element at a given
frequency. The device is commonly used as an aid to explaining sinusoidal steady state analysis (i.e. used to compute amplitude and

L. 2-Wire (Two-Wire Voltage Analyzer)
The two-wire voltage analyzer is used to conduct parametric testing of diodes in the form of current-voltage curves. A common
use for this device is the determination of the forward-bias voltage and small signal resistance for the piece-wise approximation of a
test diode. To measure the test circuit, the anode and cathode of the diode are connected to DUT+ and DUT- signal rows of the NI
ELVISmx prototyping board respectively (see feature 3 in Table 2). A voltage signal is applied across the diode (DUT+ and DUT-)
as a stimulus and the resulting diode current is measured. Shown below is the 2-Wire SFP in Figure 15, as well as an explanation of
the important controls.
1. Display Window: displays the current (in mA) vs. voltage (in V) plot for the device-under-test as well as user-enabled

Mapping and Current Mapping).

NI ELVISmx prototyping board respectively (see feature 3 in Table 2). A voltage signal is applied across the collector-emitter
junction (DUT+ and DUT-) and a current is applied discretely to the base as stimuli and the resulting collector current is measured.
