Answer the following questions, to test your understanding of sampling frequency and bit depth.
1. You are part of new automobile design team, and are responsible for designing the sensor data
collection system. The specification of the data collection system is that is must be capable of
receiving data with a resolution down to 0.1% of full scale (1 part in 1000) for any given sensor.
For example, suppose the driver pushes the gas pedal, the motion of which is read by an
electronic sensor such that the range of motion is defined from 0 (not pressed) to 1 (fully
pressed). If you want 0.1 % accuracy, you need 1000 possible data values between 0 and 1.
How many bits do you need to represent data to 0.1% accuracy?

The components are turned ON in sequence and sensor readings are taken, as per a written protocol that you’re following. The system is running as expected after the fan and water pump are turned ON. However, when you turn ON the compressor, it runs for about thirty seconds then stops, consistently. Swapping out the compressor for a different one seems to solve the problem. What could have been the issue with the bad compressor?arrow_forwardA temperature measurement system is composed of a sensor and a readout device. The readout device has a claimed accuracy of 0.6 °C with a resolution of 0.1 °C. The sensor has an off-the-shelf limit of error of 0.5 °C. Estimate a design-stage uncertainty in the temperature indicated by this combination. A displacement transducer has the following specifications: Linearity error:±0.25% reading Drift:±0.05%/°C reading Sensitivity error: ±0.25% reading Excitation: 10-25 V Output: dc 0-5Vdc Range: 0-5 cm The transducer output is to be indicated on a voltme- ter having a stated accuracy of 0:1% reading with a resolution of 10 μV. The system is to be used at room temperature, which can vary by 10 °C. Estimate an uncertainty in a nominal displacement of 2 cm at the design stage. Assume 95% confidence.arrow_forward
