Angular Displacement Module Mechanic

Engineering Equipments / Mechanics / Measurement & Metrology Laborator

Angular Displacement

This lab explores angular displacement measurements using a potentiometer and an incremental encoder. Students will calibrate both sensors for accurately measuring angular displacements, and will examine decoding algorithms for encoders.


Learning Objectives:

After completing this lab, students will be able to:
' Understand the voltage dividing properties of a potentiometer.
' Calibrate the output of a potentiometer in terms of angular displacement.
' Determine an encoder's pulses-per-revolution.
' Examine non-quadrature, X2, and X4 decoding.
' Calibrate the output of an encoder in terms of angular displacement.
' Observe the effect of low sampling on the accuracy of measured data.


Required Skills:

' Physics I or equivalent.
' Calculus I or equivalent.
' Basic LabVIEW Proficiency.
