AI Thread Summary
To convert the output of a strain gauge into a parallel binary word, the process begins with the strain gauge measuring resistance changes, which must be converted to voltage. This voltage signal then requires amplification and filtering to ensure accuracy before it is sent to an Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC). The ADC will then convert the analog voltage into a digital format, producing the desired parallel binary output. Additional details on voltage accuracy, filtering techniques, and ADC specifications can enhance the conversion process. Understanding these components is crucial for successful implementation.

Homework Statement



I want to convert the output of a strain gauge into an equivalent parellel binary word

Homework Equations



i need to list the process blocks in correct sequence and starting at the strain gauge

The Attempt at a Solution



Strain gauge- convert ohms to volts- adc analogue to digital convertor-

No t sure have i gone wrong or what to do next

That's pretty much it. You could fill in more details about how your make an accurate voltage from the strain gauge device, and what kind of filtering you should use before the ADC, and more details about the ADC circuit itself. You can use wikipedia.org to learn more about those kinds of devices and systems.
