* Measurement Description
Random Signal is generated by one DAC of the SpeedGoat.

The signal going out of the DAC is split into two:
- one BNC cable is directly connected to one ADC of the SpeedGoat
- one BNC cable goes two times in the Slip-Ring (from bottom to top and then from top to bottom) and then is connected to one ADC of the SpeedGoat

Two measurements are done.
| Data File          | Description           |
|--------------------+-----------------------|
| =mat/data_001.mat= | Slip-ring not turning |
| =mat/data_002.mat= | Slip-ring turning     |

For each measurement, the measured signals are:
| Data File | Description                        |
|-----------+------------------------------------|
| =t=       | Time vector                        |
| =x1=      | Direct signal                      |
| =x2=      | Signal going through the Slip-Ring |

The goal is to determine is the signal is altered when the spindle is rotating.

Here, the rotation speed of the Slip-Ring is set to 1rpm.

* Matlab Init                                               :noexport:ignore:

* Load data
We load the data of the z axis of two geophones.
#+begin_src matlab :results none
  sr_off = load('mat/data_001.mat', 't', 'x1', 'x2');
  sr_on  = load('mat/data_002.mat', 't', 'x1', 'x2');
#+end_src

* Analysis
Let's first look at the signal produced by the DAC (figure [[fig:random_signal]]).

#+begin_src matlab :results none
  figure;
  hold on;
  plot(sr_on.t,  sr_on.x1);
  hold off;
  xlabel('Time [s]'); ylabel('Voltage [V]');
  xlim([0 10]);

#+end_src

#+NAME: fig:random_signal
#+CAPTION: Random signal produced by the DAC

We now look at the difference between the signal directly measured by the ADC and the signal that goes through the slip-ring (figure [[fig:slipring_comp_signals]]).

#+begin_src matlab :results none
  figure;
  hold on;
  plot(sr_on.t,  sr_on.x1 - sr_on.x2,  'DisplayName', 'Slip-Ring - $\omega = 1rpm$');
  plot(sr_off.t, sr_off.x1 - sr_off.x2,'DisplayName', 'Slip-Ring off');
  hold off;
  xlabel('Time [s]'); ylabel('Voltage [V]');
  xlim([0 10]);
  legend('Location', 'northeast');

* Conclusion
#+begin_note
*Remaining questions*:
- Should the measurement be redone using voltage amplifiers?
- Use higher rotation speed and measure for longer periods (to have multiple revolutions) ?
