Activity Objectives

  • Students identify components of an instrumentation system.

  • Students demonstrate a conceptual understanding of bandwidth and accuracy.

Instructor Information

Students work in teams. Each student team observes a data acquisition system that is set up to measure a physical quantity; for example, Figure 1 shows a data acquisition system that uses an IR distance finder to measure distance. The teams describe the components of the data acquisition system, as well as how these components are connected. They compare the components and connections to information in preliminary reading, and then answer questions about bandwidth and accuracy.
