Additional Challenge (extra 10 marks):
When identifying parameters of the rectilinear or the torsional system you can attempt to identify the dry and viscous friction models simultaneously and estimate parameters: assuming that the real friction torque includes both the viscous and dry friction components (10 marks).
Appendix A: How to use ECP raw data stored in a textual file to plot the required graphs.
You are free to create your own method of reading the text files with the raw data to Matlab and producing graphs using the ‘plot’ command or you can follow the method describe below.
Change the file extension of the ECP data file from: “.txt” to “.m”.
Other three corrections should be made inside the raw data file. They are marked in “yellow” in the below excerpt from the file:

The m-file ECP_torsional_rectilinear_data_processing.m (available on BB) gives examples how to read data from “filename”.m and plot them as a Matlab figure. You should save these figures as Matlab file “PlotName.fig” and also in a graphical format for instance “PlotName.tif”, the later should be included in your lab report. The simplest finite-difference algorithm is used to evaluate the linear (ECP-210) and angular (ECP-205) velocities.
Examples of the plots obtained from applying the above procedure are displayed below :
Figure 1. Rectilinear system ECP-201 open-loop system response.
Figure 2. Rectilinear system ECP-210 close-loop system response.
Figure 3. Torsional system ECP-205 open-loop system response.
Figure 4. Torsional system ECP-205 closed-loop system response (position control).
