The ADC Tester (A2100) is a LWDAQ device that records the output and power consumption of two ADC s. Its original purpose was comparative testing of two ADCs at different temperatures, but it turned out that the A2100 makes a good dual-channel eighteen-bit oscilloscope.

es are short for the benefit of the photograph. We give the names of the four indicator LEDs. (1) RJ-45 connection to LWDAQ, (2) programmable logic chip, (3) 512KG—8 static RAM, (4) Analog signal input, (5) ADC1 auxilliary board, (6) ADC2 auxilliary board, (7) Pt 1000 RTD glued to LTC1865L, (8) connection for two additional RTDs, (9) 12-way flex cable, (10) fixed voltage supplies for ADC2, (11) fixed voltage supplies for ADC1, (12) logic programming connector, (13) connection to Resistive Sensor Head ( A2053L ). The two ADCs do not reside upon the A2100. They reside on auxilliary boards, which are separate, miniature circuit boards connected to the A2100 by 12-way, 1-mm pitch, 25-cm long flex cables. In a sampling session, the A2100 takes simultaneous, regular samples from both ADCs and stores them in its 512 KByte memory. Once the sampling session is over, we can read out some or all of the samples and analyze them. We control and read out the A2100 with our LWDAQ Software. We use the program`s Terminal Instrument to define sampling sessions and read out blocks of ADC samples. We use the Gauge Instrument to measure the currents supplied through the fixed voltages. Note: We designed the A2100 to compare the response of two ADCs at different temperatures when presented with the same input. In particular, we wanted to study the performance of the AD7982 at ’140 °C. The AD7982 is an 18-bit, 1 MSPS, serial-interface,...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
