TIMS, or Telecommunication Instructional Modeling System, is an

telecommunications trainer in educational settings and universities.[1][2][3]

History

TIMS was designed at the

Texas Instruments TMS320.[8][9] Emona Instruments also received an award for TIMS at the fifth Secrets of Australian ICT Innovation Competition.[9]

Methodology

TIMS Methodology Diagram
TIMS Methodology Diagram

TIMS uses a block diagram-based interface for experiments in the classroom. It can model mathematical equations to simulate electric signals, or it can use block diagrams to simulate telecommunications systems.[4][7][10] It uses a different hardware card to represent functions for each block of the diagram.[11]

TIMS consists of a server, a chassis, and boards that can emulate the configurations of a telecommunications system.

digital communications systems.[13][14] The modules can perform different functions such as signal generation, signal processing, signal measurement, and digital signal processing.[10][13]

Variants

The block diagram approach to modeling the mathematics of a telecommunication system has also been ported across to other domains.[15][16]

Simulation

Where the blocks are patched together onscreen to mimic the hardware implementation but with a simulation engine (known as TutorTIMS).[15][16]

Remote access

It can be used by multiple students at once across the internet or LAN via a browser based client screen. This utilises a statistical time division multiplexing architecture in the control unit. The method is applied both to Telecommunications and Electronics Laboratories (known as netCIRCUITlabs).[15][16]
