The lab you are working in has asked you to select a data acquisition board as part of a new instrument designed to record a voltage waveform. The waveform to be measured is a triangle shape with a duration of 100 ms and an amplitude of 50 mV. Your budget is $1500 and you must purchase a data acquisition board from National Instruments with a USB interface. Required:
Draw a model to purchase and include an explanation of why you selected this model.

USB-6000

Explanation:

For this strange exercise, you must take into account two fundamental aspects of the data acquisition cards;

* The resolution of the cards, which for a 12-bit card is 2.24mV =2.24 10⁻³V , for which a card of this resolution is sufficient

    In your case, the amplitude is 50 mv, which is why it is much higher than the resolution of the card.

* The sampling rate or the frequency in which the card can acquire the data, the typical frequencies go from 200 Khz to the MHz, in general a card that has more than double the frequency to be measured should be selected.

In this case the frequency of your wave is

           f = 1 / T

           f = 1/100 10⁻³

            f = 10 Hz

therefore a low frequency card is suitable.

- The third point is the requirement that it has a USB interface, most of the card do not have it

If you check the National Instruments catalog, there are low-cost cards for example: USB-6000 of 12bits and 10KS / s the latter is the samples taken per second

if the person is shown to have +90n, then ans is -10n.

if the person is shown to have -90n, then ans is +10n.
