The objective of this lab was to introduce students to data analysis software and for the group to understand the process of recording, uploading, and analyzing raw AEV test run values to further enhance the efficiency of their vehicle. To begin Lab 07, students first downloaded and installed the “AEV Analysis” MATLAB application from the Ohio State Engineering website. A provided MATLAB file of EEPROM data collected during a sample AEV test run was then opened within the app and the software generated two graphs, displayed the Arduino code used during the run, and converted the EEPROM values to physical parameters. These outputs were individually examined by the members of the group and individual conclusions concerning the data’s meaning were drawn. The motivation behind performing this procedure was to streamline the analysis phase of AEV efficiency testing. In past labs, multiple conversions and calculations had to be performed using user-defined functions in Microsoft Excel or MATLAB. This process wasted time and became monotonous, therefore the introduction of analysis software provides a more effective and efficient alternative. In the engineering world, projects always have a deadline and as a result must be completed in a timely manner. Programs similar to the software used in this lab are required to deal with this constraint and to ensure accuracy. See attached executive summary for more information.
