Compatible Sensors for Aquaponics Systems using the USB 6001 DAQ Controller:
Create test plans for the following sensors. The test plans clearly define how testing will be used to verify that hardware components and subsystems and software modules are performing as specified. The test plans should include step-by-step instructions and pass-fail criteria for all tests.
1. Nitrate Sensor
2. Ammonia Sensor
3. Flow Sensor(meter)
Example:
Power Subsystem Test Procedure
o Test 110Vac to 5Vdc converter output
o Test transistor to relay coil:
- Simulate USB 6001 DAQ output signal to transistor base pin
- Test transistor emitter pin for 5Vdc
o Test relay performance - individually
- Perform previous test
- Check relay activation
o Test relay performance - simultaneous
- Activate all transistors
- Verify all relays are activated
o Test 110Vac signal output - individually
- Verify outlet voltage level
o Test 110Vac signal output - simultaneous
- Verify outlet voltage levels
o Test device amperage draw
- Individual
- Simultaneous.
