Lab review checklist

Use this checklist for new or substantially changed practical labs.

Learning path

• The lab states what the student should understand after completing it.
• The lab connects theory to modeling, fixed-point behavior, HDL, SDR hardware, or IQ analysis.
• Required background is listed before the procedure.

Reproducibility

• Hardware, software, and toolchain versions are named.
• All command examples are copy-paste friendly.
• Input files, generated files, and expected outputs are described.
• IQ files include sample rate, center frequency, bandwidth, gain, format, and byte order.

Measurement value

• The lab produces at least one observable result: plot, spectrum, waveform, report, LED/logic output, or received signal.
• Expected result ranges are stated where exact values are not stable.
• Failure modes and debugging hints are included.

Safety

• RF transmission examples include local regulation and low-power warnings.
• Hardware wiring examples mention power, ground, and basic protection assumptions.
• Risky host commands are marked clearly.

Maintenance

• Figures are stored in the documented assets path.
• Generated artifacts can be regenerated from source scripts when possible.
• Russian and English versions stay structurally aligned when both are present.
