OBJECTIVE

• Real data collection


Collecting the real data of device by giving physical quantity
(distance) as the input and collecting it as electrical quantity
(voltage).
• Standardizing the sensor behavior
Calculation of calibration co – efficient
• Calibration of the given sensor
Finding the physical quantity from the electrical signal

CALIBRATION OF IR

THEORY

IR SENSOR
The SHARP 2Y0A02 is a distance-measuring sensor unit that integrates
a PSD (Position Sensitive Detector), an IRED (Infrared Emitting Diode),
and a signal processing circuit. It outputs a voltage corresponding to the
detected distance.

TRANSMITTER
The transmitter section contains IR LED as emitter to transmit the IR.

RECEIVER
The receiver section contains a photo - transistor to receive the reflected
IR rays and a square wave generator
WORKING PRINCIPLE
• The emitter is an IR LED and the detector is an IR photo-transistor.
The IR photo - transistor is sensitive to the IR light emitted by an IR
LED.

• When the IR transmitter emits


radiation, it reaches the object and
some of the radiation reflects back to
the IR receiver.

• Based on the intensity of the


reception by the IR receiver, the output
of the sensor defines.

• This is the under lying working


principle of the IR sensor.

LAB VIEW SETUP FOR IR SENSOR

1 RAW DATA COLLECTION


PROCEDURE
• Insert DAC assistant in front panel and configure it by providing
necessary details

• Move the object away from the sensor start from 20 cm to 100 cm.
OUTPUT
Target (cm) Voltage measured(V)
20 2.33
30 1.82
40 1.43
50 1.18
60 1
70 0.87
80 0.77
90 0.69
100 0.63

2 STANDARDISING THE SENSOR BEHAVIOUR

• Creating two arrays for target and voltage measured in front


panel
• To find the coefficients A,B & C we use polynomial fit.
• We use two bundles
1. For voltage and target.
2. polynomial fit and voltage
• Two bundles are connected to build array and the build array is
connected to XY graph.
OUTPUT
A=167.406
B=-135.102
C=31.2724

3 CALIBRATIONS OF THE GIVEN SENSOR

• Using gain and offset values we get the data using DAC assistant
and performing the expression in block diagram
Y=AX^2+BX+C

• X=sensor voltage
• Y=output in
centimeters

RESULT
The relationship between IR SENSOR and voltage was found to be
approximately linear and the effectiveness of the calibration,
accuracy of the data, and potential improvements in the
measurement system.
CALIBRATION OF SONAR

THEORY

• Sonar is a type of proximity sensor that uses sound to measure the


relative distance between the sensor and objects in
• the environment.
• Sound waves are emitted and then detected after they bounce off
objects in the environment.
• The time difference between emission and detection is used to
determine the distance to an object.
• A timer calculates how long it takes for the signal to return and,
given the speed of sound in air, the distance of the
• remote target is measured.
• Sonar sensors are great for long-distance measurements.

LAB VIEW SETUP FOR SONAR

PROCEDURE
• assistant in front panel and configure it by providing necessary
details
• Move the object to 18 to 30 cm and note down the respective
voltage outputs
OUTPUT

18 0.247
21 0.282
24 0.32
27 0.35
30 0.39

GAIN=84.6296
OFFSET=-2.8952

RESULT
The relationship between SONAR and voltage was found to be
approximately linear and the effectiveness of the calibration,
accuracy of the data, and potential improvements in the
measurement system.
