Recap
 Collect the data using DAQ with proper
calibration.
 Pre-process it to clean and perform conversions.
 Interpret and visualize the data to make decisions
or take the necessary actions
 Sampling rate should be high to get more precise
and in depth analysis of the sensor’s data
 Digital sensor can be used to detect proximity.
 Optical encoders exhibit square pulses normally.

RLC…

Resistor:

 A passive electrical component with two terminals


that are used for either limiting or regulating the flow
of electric current in electrical circuits.
 The main purpose of resistor is to reduce the current
flow and to lower the voltage in any particular
portion of the circuit.

RLC…

Inductor:

 An inductor is a passive electrical component that


opposes sudden changes in current.
 It stores energy in the form of magnetic field.
 Inductors are also known as coils or chokes. The
electrical symbol for an inductor is L.

RLC…

Capacitor:

 A capacitor is a two-terminal electrical device that


can store energy in the form of an electric charge.
 It consists of two electrical conductors that are
separated by a distance.
 Stores energy in the form of electric field.
 Electrolytic capacitors are recommended to use in
power lines in parallel.

Diodes

Types:
A two terminal component which conducts at the
nominal biasing voltage.
 Rectifier diodes:
 Convert AC to DC voltage.
 Light emitting diodes:
 Used as signal indicators
 Photo diode:
 Biased with photons
 Zener diodes:
 Regulates the voltage

Triodes…Transistor
 Transistor is a three layer component used as a
switch and as an amplifier.
 It is a miniature semiconductor that regulates or
controls current or voltage flow in addition
amplifying and generating these electrical signals
and acting as a switch/gate for them.
 May be used as buffer or inverter.
 Types: Bipolar transistors (bipolar junction
transistors: BJTs), field-effect transistors (FETs),
and insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs).
