Task 1 :- Practical
Criteria P1 :Construct and test the two counter circuits included in this assignment. Pin-out diagrams for the D-type and J-k flipflops are shown below:-

Explain the operation of the two counter circuits

Task 2 :- Simulation
Criteria M1 :Construct and test the two counter circuits included in this assignment using Multisim. Print out all circuits produced and include instruments also. Criteria D1 :Modify circuits count down instead of up. Explain how you did this.

Task 3 :- Conclusion
Criteria D2 :Look at all of your results and compare how they worked in practice to how they should have worked. Comment on any problems and differences between building in the lab and using electronic simulation.
