Question 1: What is the most likely cause of erratic behavior in a digital circuit that has proper power but does not receive any signal input?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Broken PCB trace

Incorrect clock frequency

Grounding issue

Short circuit

Question 2: In integrating an automation system for a manufacturing plant, how do you address time synchronization issues between PLCs and SCADA systems?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Implement a time server and use time-stamping for data

Use a shared database with time-sync algorithms

Use NTP (Network Time Protocol) across all devices

Employ time-code synchronization through physical cabling

Question 3: In systems with real-time requirements, what hardware feature must be closely aligned with software design?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Interrupt handling and timing accuracy

Power consumption and voltage stability

Cooling efficiency and airflow

Component size and weight

Question 4: When integrating sensors into an embedded system, what hardware feature needs to be matched with the software's capabilities?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

The sampling rate of the sensor and the software's processing speed

The physical housing of the sensor

The voltage range of the sensor and the power supply

The sensor's size and weight

Question 5: During a field test, a multimeter shows the resistance in a coil is much higher than expected. What could this indicate?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

The coil is under a high voltage surge

The coil's insulation is compromised

The coil is operating at lower than expected temperature

The coil has a break in the winding

Question 6: In a system integration scenario, what is the main purpose of regression testing?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To ensure that the integration of new subsystems does not negatively impact existing functionality

To test only the new subsystems

To speed up the testing process by avoiding comprehensive checks

To check individual components in isolation
