Installing a Sound Card
Step 1Earth yourself and ensure the power supply has been removed.
Step 2Remove outer case from CPU to allow access
Step 3Place the sound card on top of a chosen slot. Gently push down the cardso it sits into position, screw the card onto the case
Installing a Sound Card
Step 4If the computer has a CD Rom drive fitted, its audio output can beconnected to the sound card.
Step 5Re-assemble the case, attach speakers to the card’s output socket andswitch 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
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
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
Setting up a mobile Dynamometer
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
• Optimising DV streaming over the college network
