Analysis of signals from inductive sensors by means of the DasyLab software

The paper deals with the acquisition of measuring signals from inductive sensors and their treatment in the programming environment National Instruments DasyLab. Its potential is presented with respect to analyzing and processing the data and the methods of constructing algorithms for performing complex tasks are discussed. Signals coming from inductive sensors are typically sinusoidal or deformed, of irregular shapes. They carry various types of information: on the thickness of the outer coating, on the flaws in the coating, or on the linear or angular displacement. In order to obtain such information from the measuring sensor it is necessary to examine the amplitude, frequency, or shape of the measuring signal analysed. Such signals can be examined as individual impulses of various shapes or as sets of periods extending over longer time spans. The paper also describes the examples of the systems in the DasyLab software package to be used in measurements and other forms of applied research

APPLICATION OF THE SOFTWARE PACKAGE LTSPICE FOR DESIGNING AND ANALYSING THE OPERATION OF ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS

The paper presents application of the software package LTspice in the teaching of designing and analysis of electronic systems operation. The program has been used for simulating the operation of typical electronic systems, such as filters. The systems created in the simulation can provide a basis for preparing students to participate in laboratory classes. The results obtained in a simulation can be subsequently verified by testing real systems during the electronics laboratory classes. The results of simulation and real experiments can also be compared and utilised for making an analysis and writing a report on the experiment

THE USE OF MODERN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY IN TEACHING ELECTRONICS

The paper presents systems created in the software environment are tested in terms of operation and the operating parameters. The testing also includes the faithfulness of representing the actual circuit operation. Students work with these circuits during laboratory classes of Introduction to Electronics. The results of measurements obtained during the classes are compared with the results obtained by students when working with simulated electronic circuits. The results of students’work carried out with the two methods were assessed.

APPLICATION OF SOFTWARE PACKAGES IN RESEARCH AND DIDACTICS

The paper describes software packages National Instrument Multisim and DasyLab. The former can be applied for designing, testing and simulations of electronic and digital elements and systems. The latter is used for designing virtual measuring systems for obtaining measuring data from real objects and measuring sensors. Both software packages can be fruitfully applied in research and in the teaching of technology-related subjects. The paper presents examples of both kinds of applications of the software under scrutiny
