Multiple earthing points can create potential difference between them and lead to an internal noise signal
Twisted pairs of wires is used to avoid capacitive coupling because the e.m.f induced in each pair cancel out the
other
A microprocessor can be used as a data processing element in instrumentation systems
A changing current in a nearby circuit produces a changing magnetic field which can induce e.m.f.s in the
measurement system. the above statement indicate a certain type of noise. select the correct answer.
> A:
Inductive coupling
X B: Capacitive coupling
X C: Multiple earths
X D: None of the above answers
In the data transmission, the voltage attenuation can be avoided by using analouge voltage trasmission
[BONUS QUESTION] A microprocessor gives a maximum output of the binary word (1111111) . This is fed through
a digital-to-analogue converter to a control valve which requires 7.0 V to be fully open. If the fully open state is to
be indicated by the maximum output (1111111) and the fully closed state ro be indicated by the minimum output
(0000000) , what will be the change in output to the valve when there is a change of 1 bit? Note: Show the
calculation steps on the provided exam sheet & select the correct answer. (2-Marks)
> A:
54.6800 mV
X B: 0.00545 V
X C: 0.0315 V
X D: 31.5200 V
A thermocouple gives an output of 0.3 mV for each degree change in temperature. What will be the word length
required when its output passes through an analogue-to-digital converter if temperatures from 0 to 200 C are to
be measured with a resolution of 0.5 C? Note: Show the calculation steps on the provided exam sheet & select
the correct answer. (2-Marks)
> A: 9 bits
X B:
11 bits
X C: 18 bits
X D: 8 bits
