Fundamentals of control engineering

Exercise 1. Data registration and measurements processing

Goal: gain skill in using data acquisition equipment (software and hardware),
registration of static characteristic of proportional element (linearity)

Methods: wiring simple circuit with the use of MAO (Fig. 1), connection of the
data acquisition hardware, preparation of software strategy for voltage
measurements, registration of measurements

Learning outcomes: basic knowledge on data acquisition

Key words: ADAQView, DAQ card, gain, static characteristic

To do list: connect MAO board with data acquisition card (PCI-1711) mounted in
PC by the use of wiring terminal (PCLD-8710), run ADAQView
software and build strategy for voltage measurements using analog
input and analog output blocks, measure static input/output
characteristic of the amplifier (MAO: K = K1* K2 ) in 0-10[V] range
