Problem

A strain-logger uses a 10-bit analogue-to-digital converter with a full-scale reference of

V_{FS} = 5.00\,\text{V}

and a busy (non-static) input signal. Calculate ((a)) the quantisation step

\Delta

, ((b)) the rms quantisation noise, and ((c)) the full-scale signal-to-noise ratio in decibels.
