This rate may no

(Such a

If the word size is w, then the smallest step changein the data that can be seen is 1 part in 2w, that is thequantization step is d =2w.3.1.10 valleyThe point of minimum load in constantamplitude loading (see Terminology E1823).4. Description of a Basic Data Acquisition System4.1 In its most ba

19、sic form, a mechanical testing systemconsists of a test frame with grips which attach to a testspecimen, a method of applying forces to the specimen, and anumber of transducers which measure the forces and displace-ments applied to the specimen (see Fig. 3). The output fromthese transducers may be i

20、n digital or analog form, but if theyare analog, they are first amplified and filtered and thenconverted to digital form using analog-to-digital converters(ADCs). The resulting stream of digital data may be digitallyfiltered and manipulated to result in a stream of output BasicData which is presente

21、d to the user in the form of a displayedor printed output, or as a data file in a computer. Variousalgorithms may be applied to the Basic Data to deriveparameters representing, for example, the peaks and valleys ofthe forces and displacements applied to the specimen, or thestresses and strains appli

22、ed to the specimen and so forth. Suchparameters are the Derived Data.4.1.1 The whole measurement system may be divided intothree sections for the purpose of verification: the mechanicaltest frame and its components, the electrical measurementsystem, and the computer processing of data. This guide is

23、specifically concerned only with the electrical measurementsystem commencing at the output of the transducers. Beforethe mechanical system is investigated for dynamic errors by themethods given in Practice E467, this guide can be used toascertain that the electrical measurement system has adequatepe

24、rformance for the measurements required for Practice E467.If the requirements of Practice E467 for the mechanical systemand the recommendations of this guide are met, then the userhas confidence that the Basic Data produced by the testingsystem are adequate for processing by subsequent computeralgor

25、ithms to produce further Derived Data.4.1.2 At each stage of the flow of data in the electricalmeasurement system, errors can be introduced. These shouldbe considered in the sequence in which these are dealt with inthis guide. The sequence includes:4.2 Errors Due to Bandwidth Limitations in the Sign

26、alConditioningWhere there is analog signal conditioning priorto analog-to-digital conversion, there will usually be restric-tions on the analog bandwidth in order to minimize noise and,in some cases, to eliminate products of demodulation. Afterdigital conversion, additional digital filtering may be

27、applied toreduce noise components. These bandwidth restrictions resultin cyclic signals at higher frequencies having an apparentamplitude which is lower than the true value, and if thewaveform is not sinusoidal, also having waveform distortion.The bandwidth restrictions also cause phase shifts which

28、 resultin phase measurement errors when comparing phase in twochannels with different bandwidths.4.3 Errors Due to Incorrect Data RateErrors can resultfrom an insufficient data rate, where the intervals between datasamples are too large and intervening events are not recordedFIG. 1 3-dB Bandwidth of

29、 Sensor ChannelFIG. 2 Basic and Derived DataFIG. 3 Sources of Error in Data Acquisition SystemsE1942 98 (2010)12in the Basic Data. These result also in errors in the DerivedData, for example, when the peak value of a waveform ismissed during sampling. Data skew, where the Basic Data arenot acquired

30、at the same instant in time, can produce similarerrors to phase shifts between channels.4.4 Errors Due to Noise and DriftNoise added to thesignal being measured causes measurement uncertainty. Shortterm noise causes variability or random error, and includesanalog noise at the transducer output due t

31、o electrical ormechanical pick up, and analog noise added in the amplifier,together with digital noise, or quantization, due to the finitedigital word length of the ADC system.4.4.1 Long-term effects, such as drifts in the transduceroutput or its analog signal conditioning due to temperature oraging

32、 effects, are indistinguishable from slow changes in theforces and displacements seen by the specimen, and cause amore systematic error.4.4.2 Further details of these sources of error are given inAnnex A1.5. System Requirements5.1 How This Section is OrganizedThis section gives thesteps that must be

33、 taken to ensure the errors are controlled.There are several sources of error in the electrical system, andthese may add both randomly and deterministically. To givereasonable assurance that these errors have a minor effect onoverall accuracy of a system with 1 % accuracy, recommenda-tions are given

34、 in this guide, which result in a 0.2 % errorbound for each individual source of error. However, Annex A1also shows how the error varies with each parameter, so thatthe user may choose to use larger or smaller error bounds withappropriate adjustments to bandwidth, data rate, and so forth.5.1.1 In th

35、is section, which is intended to be used in theorder written, a minimum value or a maximum value isrecommended for each parameter. If the actual value of eachparameter is known, then the system requirement is that in eachcase either:Maximum value $ actual valueorMinimum value # actual value.However,

36、 if the actual value is not known, then help is givenas to how to determine it.5.2 Frequency and WaveshapeThe first step is to deter-mine the highest cyclic frequency, f Hz, at which testing willoccur, and the waveshape to be employed (for example,sinusoidal, triangular, square).5.3 Minimum Bandwidt

37、hIf the waveform is sinusoidal orsquare, then the minimum bandwidth is 10f Hz to measure thepeak value. If the waveform is triangular, then the minimumbandwidth is 100f Hz. For example, for a 10Hz sinusoidalwaveform, the minimum bandwidth is 100 Hz. For a discussionof minimum bandwidth, see A1.2.1 a

38、nd A1.2.2.5.4 Actual BandwidthThe actual bandwidth must be equalto or greater than the minimum bandwidth. If this conditioncannot be met, then the errors will increase as shown in A1.2.1andA1.2.2. If the actual bandwidth is not known, then it can beascertained using one of the suggested methods in A

39、1.2.3,orotherwise.5.5 Minimum Data RateFor measurement of the peakvalue of sinusoidal or square waveforms, the minimum datarate is 50 points/cycle, or 50f points/s. For measurement of thepeak value of triangular waveforms, the minimum data rate is400 points/cycle, or 400f points/s. If the data acqui

40、sitionsystem produces the peak value as an output, then the internalBasic Data rate used should equal or exceed the appropriateminimum data rate (depending on waveform type). This shouldbe verified even if the external rate at which samples arepresented is less than this minimum value. For a discuss

41、ion ofdata rate, see A1.3.1.5.6 Actual Data RateThe actual data rate must equal orexceed the minimum data rate. If the actual data rate is notknown, then it must be ascertained using a method such as thatin A1.3.2.5.7 Maximum Permitted Noise LevelThe noise level is thestandard deviation of the noise

42、 in the transducer channel,expressed in the units appropriate to the channel. The maxi-mum permitted noise level is 0.2 % of the expected peak valueof the waveform being measured. For example, if the expectedpeak value in a load channel is 100 kN, then the standarddeviation of the noise in that chan

43、nel must not exceed 0.2 kN.5.8 Actual Noise LevelThe actual noise level must beequal to or less than the maximum permitted noise level. If theactual noise level is not known, then it must be ascertainedusing a method such as that in A1.4.6. Guidance on how toinvestigate sources of noise is given in

44、A1.4.7.5.8.1 If the actual noise level exceeds the maximum permit-ted noise level, it can usually be reduced by reducing band-width, but this will require beginning again at 5.3 to verify thatthe bandwidth reduction is permissible.5.9 Maximum Permissible Phase Difference and MaximumPermissible Data

45、SkewThese terms are discussed in A1.5.1and A1.5.2. No value is recommended for the maximumpermissible phase difference and data skew between channels,since this is very dependent on the testing application. Iftypical phase shifts between displacement and force due to thematerial under test are 10 to

46、 20, then an acceptable value forthe maximum phase difference might be 1. However, if typicalphase shifts are 2 to 3, the acceptable value for the maximumphase difference might be only 0.1.5.10 Actual Phase Shift and Data SkewMethods forestimating the combined effect of phase shift and data skew ina
