The team began the system analysis of the AEV in this lab. The team developed a program for the AEV test run, downloading the Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) and converting the EEPROM data into physical parameters. Once the EEPROM data has been converted into physical parameters, the team analyzed the data to determine parameters relevant to the performance of the AEV. Then, the performance analysis is plotted, with phase breakdowns. The team will utilized MATLAB and Design Analysis Tool to carry out the system analysis.
Takeaways
- Test – The program set up for a run should be tested statically before running it on track.
- Performance – Data form the analysis would aid in achieving a more efficient AEV.
- Power – The less power used, the more efficient the AEV would become.
- Data – Data is analyzed conveniently with the use of Data Analysis Tool.
- MatLab – Proficient use of MatLab is needed to utilize the Data Analysis Tool.
- General – It is important to be critical and observant in analyzing the data obtained.
