1.

What would the relative sensitivity of the IR detector be if you use tone to
send a 35 kHz signal? What is the relative sensitivity with a 36 kHz signal?

The relative sensitivity at 35 kHz is 30%. For 36 kHz, its 50%

2. What keyword is used to declare a constant?

Precede a variable declaration with the const keyword.

3. What statement is used to sweep through the list of frequencies used for
IR distance measurements?

A for loop that starts indexing at 38000 and increases by 1000 with each repetition.

4. Whats a summing junction?

A summing junction is a part of a block diagram that indicates two inputs are added
together (or one subtracted from another) resulting in an output.

5. In our closed loop proportional control block diagrams, what two values
are used to calculate the error term?

The error term is the measured level subtracted from the desired set point level.

6. How do delays in the loop function contribute to setting the sampling


rate?

If a distance sample is taken with each repetition of the loop function, then the delays
more or less determine how long it takes between each sample. Thats called the
sample interval, and 1 sample interval = sampling rate.
