Feb.15 2012 Lab 4
Started today by forking the repository 2012-Physics-308L-Lab-4 on github and proceeded to clone the repo onto my local machine. After the folder was cloned I connected the DAQ card to the local machine and ran the program on the computer to verify that my board was working properly, I also noted down that the computer recognizes the unit as board# 0 with serial# 49.
Had some troubles getting data points to display on the example VI provided, tried tweaking with the settings on the function generator and got some data points but only a few here and there, Anthony suggested setting the channel on the VI to ch.0 and that worked.
-
What is the maximum frequency wave that you can reliably sample?
-
The highest freq. that you can reliably sample would be 1/2 of the sample frequency which is the nyquist frequency.
-
What limits the frequency?
-
The freq. is limited because aliasing can make a wave with one frequency look like another wave with a drastically different frequency.
Part 2 of the lab went well, set up a vi to read waves with a sample rate that can be set by the user allowing for one to account for aliasing.
this is actually lab 4. Lab 3 was the twitter thing. You need to write up your thoughts on that so you can get a grade for the twitter experiment. Also link to your github repository
