Procedure

There are two tasks in this experiment.

Procedure for Encoding:

• The objective of this task is to learn about the encoding of a (7, 4) Hamming code.
• Enter all the three parity bits in the fields provided and click on Submit.
• The correctness of the answer is displayed in Observations.
• Reset - Clears all the entered parity bits.
• Next - Displays the next example. Solve sufficient number of examples.

Procedure for Error-Correction:

• The objective of this task is to correct a single error in a (7, 4) Hamming code.
• Clicking on a bit toggles the value in it.
• The figure shows a vector obtained by flipping any single bit of a codeword.
• Identify the error location by following the procedure given in theory. Then, flip the bit corresponding to the error location and click on Submit.
• Observations displays whether you have corrected the error or not.
• Reset - Resets back all the bits to the original codeword.
• *Next - Displays the next example. Solve sufficient number of examples.
