Overview• Quick review of previous talk

• What we’ve done since, including data

• What could be done to develop and

improve method

Data Acquisition (DAQ) Setup

HP 3562A Dynamic Signal Analyzer

Transmit

Receive

Op Amp

Random Noise

White Noise Setup

eBay is great!

DAQ data of Vtotl vs. Freq w/ receive below transmit

Limitations!• Piezo transducers are 3.7 cm in diameter…too big!

• Suspending guitar can be tricky…does not hang the

same way twice

• Time constraints

Developments• Calibration of piezo transducers- correlating voltage

with space to develop plots w/ space dimensions as

z-axis

• Map out using more points with smaller transducers

• Understand better the DAQ graphs

• Laser Holography?
