    This study introduces an electrical control unit that optimizes analog-to-digital (A/D) converter usage by conditioning signals. The unit allows for signal offsetting, zero resetting, and variable gain for precise measurement, including mechanical movement.

    Area of Science:

    • Electrical engineering
    • Signal processing
    • Measurement instrumentation

    Background:

    • Analog signals require conditioning for digital conversion.
    • Analog-to-digital converters (A/Ds) have optimal operating ranges.
    • Accurate measurement of physical parameters is crucial in many applications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop an electrical control unit for optimizing A/D converter utilization.
    • To enable compatibility of diverse analog signals with A/D converters.
    • To facilitate the measurement of mechanical movement using conditioned analog signals.

    Main Methods:

    • Design of an electrical control unit with signal offsetting capabilities.
    • Implementation of a push-button zero reset function.
