This is an online, interactive course that contains instructions, multimedia, and assessments where students can learn at their own pace. As an instructor, you can create and edit instances of this course, assign them to students, and view student progress.
In this lab students will learn how analog signals from sensors are converted into digital signals using analog-to-digital conversion (ADC). Students will also learn about elements of ADC, such as sampling and Nyquist frequency. Throughout the process, students will complete hands-on activities and answer questions to confirm their understanding.
After completing this lab, students will be able to:
Discuss the process of analog-to-digital conversion and understand the effects of resolution and range on the measured signal.
Discuss the complexity of sampling theory, including multiplexing and Nyquist frequency.
Identify the minimum resolution, sampling rate, and range required for a given measurement scenario.
