You are asked to design a data acquisition system for a vibration testing setup for a certain mechanical machine. The data acquisition system is expected to have the components shown in Figure 3. The expected vibrational acceleration range is within +/- 600 m/s^2 with a frequency range from 1 to 8000 Hz. It is desired to collect the vibration signal with a resolution of 0.05 m/s^2 or better. a) For the first design step, what the required number of bits of the A/D? b) Assume that the available accelerometers are as listed in Table 1. Find which senior would be suitable for the required data acquisition system. Explain your answer in the space below Table 1. c) What is the cut-off frequency of the low-pass filter? Show your calculation. d) What is the least required sampling frequency of the A/D converter? Show your calculation. e) Most of the available A/D converter can be set at either plusminus5V, plusminus2.5V, plusminus 1.25V, plusminus 1V, 0 to 5 V, 0 to 2.5 V, 0 to 1.25 V, or 0 to 1 V and the amplifier has a gain, K, that can be set at either 1, 10 or 100. What is the best combination of the amplifier gain and the A/D range such that the A/D converter range of each channel is best utilized? f) Double check if the required resolution is still maintained (by finding the effective resolution). If it is not, adjust the corresponding parameter and more all requirements are satisfied. g) How much memory is required to store 10 seconds of the vibration signal in Mega Bytes (MB)? h) Imagine an experiment is being made with a system of your choice. As per the given specifications and your previous calculations, fill in the table below with the matching values at the points specified in Figure 3. Write any required calculation in the space below. You are asked to design a data acquisition system for a vibration testing setup for a certain mechanical machine.
