No Computed Data

Question 15

Transmit schedule

Answer 15

Based on frequency

Question 16

Normal Mode

Answer 16

the unit can produce magnetic heading info

Question 17

Basic mode

Answer 17

the unit can produce magnetic heading information but its not accurate

Question 18

I2C

Answer 18

Integrated circuit

Question 19

Pulse width modulated signal

Answer 19

-The width of the pulse determines how much acceleration its experience
-More acceleration means higher pulse..wider pulse
-Less acceleration means narrow pulse… lower pulse

Question 20

EEPROM

Answer 20

Electrically erasable programmable

-Memory that is written in to it. if it power down and power up.. it wont lose the data
-Configurations files are stored in this file
o Written at integration test
o If the eeprom is faulty, all the other tests will fail

Question 21

CRC

Answer 21

Cyclic redundancy check

Question 22

Why can CRC replace checksums?

Answer 22

Problem with checksums, if there are two colums with a problem (incorrect sum)
- Cant detect multiply bit errors
- CRC replace checksums
o Internet has CRCs in it
 Uses another algorithm

Question 23

Compensation Engine

Answer 23

Doing the math for the data

Question 23

How does a CRC find a primary number in binary form?

Answer 23

Division is done on a data set into the binary number. A unique value is calculated

Question 24

HASS

Answer 24

Highly Accelerated Stress Screening

Question 24

ATA
