This assignment is designed to work on a set of sampled data from a thickness sensor. The samples are stored in an appropriate array of up to 100 elements. The values represent the depth of the insulation around a particular cable. The thickness can vary from 0- 4 mm represented by a corresponding real value stored in the array. As long as the depth is between 1 and 4 mm the cable falls within the allowable specification however if it falls below 1 mm it is deemed to be too thin.
Specification 1 (60%)
To design a VI that will identify the number of thin values and display as a percentage of the total number of samples.
The front panel must have the following:
An array of controls holding the sampled values.
An indicator holding the percentage of thin values.
Specification 2 (80%)
Thin values tend to appear as sections or patches along the length of the cable i.e. values of less than 1 mm stored in successive array elements. To design a VI that will meet specification 1 and will also calculate the number of these thin patches. The front panel will now have an extra indicator to display the number of patches.
Specification 3 (100%)
To design a VI that will meet Specification 2 and will also be capable of detecting and displaying the start index and the length (number of successive elements less than 1 mm) of each thin patch.
Hint: Look at Array indicators.
Requirements
A report that fully documents the operation of your software, explaining clearly how each section works.
A working copy of the software submitted with the report on a CD in Version 8.5 or less.
You may be asked to demonstrate your software and attend a viva in the weeks following the submission of your work.
