Development of a Rope Type Dynamometer Using LabVIEW for Bachelor of Engineering Program Students at Rangsit University

Abstract

The objectives of this research were 1) to develop a rope-type dynamometer using LabVIEW for bachelor of engineering program students at Rangsit University, and 2) to survey the students' satisfaction with the torque measurement device. The researcher tested the torque measurement device with a sample of 30 undergraduate engineering students who have been registered in RSU 183 (Do It Yourself) at Rangsit University. A specific sample that included individuals who are proficient in studying (good, average, and poor, 10 each) was chosen. Once the trial was over, a questionnaire was administered to the students to measure user satisfaction with the torque measurement device, and its results were analyzed. It was found that the torque measurement set created can measure torques up to 10 Nm with a maximum error of ±2.20%. The mean score and standard deviation of the sample group opinions toward the kit were respectively 4.52 and 0.52, indicating that the sample group was strongly satisfied with the development kit.
