EGR 103/DAQ 2

This page contains pictures and graphs related to DAQ 2 for EGR 103. It has been updated for Spring 2017.

Notes

As before, if the system seems to not recognize Dev1, try Dev2 instead.

Pauses

There are pause commands in the code which will cause the program to...pause - specifically when the program first runs to check the lights. You will need to hit a key to un-pause the program. The way to see if the program is paused is to look at the bottom left corner of your MATLAB window - it will tell you if it is paused.

Graph Labels

For this particular assignment, you do not need axis labels. You need a title on each subplot, however.

Circuit for BasicAOutput

Circuit layout for BasicAOutput.

Circuit for BasicAIO

Circuit layout for BasicAIO (two measurements).

Graph from BasicAIO

Graph showing outputs when

Vout0 = 2.5+2.5*sin(2*pi*k/100);
Vout1 = 2.5+2.5*cos(2*pi*k/100);

That is,

\( \begin{align} V_{out,\,0}=2.5+2.5\sin\left(\frac{2\pi k}{100}\right)\\ V_{out,\,1}=2.5+2.5\cos\left(\frac{2\pi k}{100}\right) \end{align} \)

Circuit for AIO

Circuit layout for AIO (six measurements).

Graph from AIO

Graph showing outputs from six measurement channels. Note at the far left that they all start at either exactly -1 V or 0 V!

Codes

Pasting codes from PDF files is...a bad idea. Here are the text versions of some of the codes in the assignment.
