from Module A Module B Module B acts as receiver and its LED lights up and a
beep is heard from the Rx speaker.
As we connect the two modules, we first assigned Module A as the transmitter and Module B as receiver.
When we pressed the switch of Module A, the LED light of Module B lights up indicating that the data
transmitted from Module A is received in Module B. The LED light is accompanied by a beep sound coming
from the Module B speaker indicating that the transmitted information was received. The next thing we did
was to try doing a two-way transmission wherein either the Module A or B is the transmitter/receiver. We
have set it in Transceiver Mode and this time we tried pressing the switch of Module B first and as
presumed, there was immediate response from Module A and vice versa. Still in Transceiver Mode, we
have also tried to transmit a string of codes, the "0123" to the other module but there is a bit of a problem
we encountered because although the LCD screen indicates that it is transmitting, the transmission time is
too long and when it is done, the data reflected on the receiver module is either lacking or presents a different
data on screen. We figured that it must have something to do with the fiber optic cable or the optical trainer
itself. In conclusion, we were able to demonstrate the different transmission ways of fiber optics and the
important part of the fiber optic data transmission is that it sends information over fiber by turning electronic
signals into light.
