Elements and Performance Criteria
- Prepare to design signal-conditioning subsystems
- OHS processes and procedures for a given work area are obtained and understood.
- Established OHS risk control measures and procedures are followed in preparation for the work.
- The extent of the proposed signal-conditioning subsystem is determined from the design brief or in consultations with appropriate person(s)
- Design development work is planned to meet scheduled timelines in consultation with others involved on the work site
- Materials and devices/components required for the work are determined on compatibility of their specifications with data acquisition system requirements and project budget constraints.
- Design signal-conditioning subsystems
- OHS risk control work measures and procedures are followed.
- Knowledge of digital and analogue elements used in signal-conditioning subsystems and compliance standards are applied to the design
