Exercises to accompany the 2nd eidtion of Introduction to Mechatronics and
Measurement Systems"
p. 27, step 4, last sentence: change "actual and measured"
to "actual (measured) and theoretical"
p. 35, Figure 3.4 and
the associated paragraph: In many oscilloscopes (including the HP54602A),
each channel's "-" signal reference is attached to chassis ground, which
is attached to the ac line ground. Therefore, to make a differential voltage measurement,
you need to use the "CH1 - CH2" signal difference feature, using the
"+" leads of each channel.
p. 68, at the bottom: change
"VC(max)" to "VCE(max)"
p. 76,
in the last line, change "10,000" to "100,000"
p.
89, step 2: change "Figure 7.9" to "Figure 7.8"
p.
89, Figure 7.8: change "7475" to "7474" and add a positive-edge-triggered
symbol to the CK input
p. 93, 6th bullet: change "BDC"
to "BCD"
p. 95, Figure 8.3 caption: change "7490"
to "7447"
p. 107, replace the PIC Programming procedure with
the new procedure.
p.
121, 10th bullet: change "BDC" to "BCD"
p. 139,
Figure 11.4: add a 0.1 mF capacitor in parallel
with the motor and diode to help filter commutation noise.
p. 141:
add a space between "MAX_SPEED" and "Con"
p. 141-143:
change "t" to "t_on" (in 8 places)
p. 142: change
"run" to "run_motor" (in 2 places)
p. 142-143, in
the "t_on" equations and surrounding text: change "T/5*3"
to "T/20*3" and "60% to 80%" to "15% to 35%"
