251 251  The sensors output latency can be expected to be a lot shorter than the oil temperature sensor as the sensor is just a variable sensor based on placement. The limiting factor for the system which uses this information is the CAN-BUS messages from the inverters which send the information each 6.25 milliseconds. This means that the cut-off frequency cannot be any lower than 160 Hz, which will make the same type of low pass filter from the oil temperature sensor acceptable with a cut-off frequency of 1591 Hz.

255 -The main goal of the air temperature sensor is to have an onboard knowledge of the ambient temperature for datalogging and cooling system control system. The sensor is a [[GA10K4D25>>doc:.GA10K4D25.WebHome]] from TE connectivity, which is a NTC thermistor which requires some extra circuitry to ensure that the microcontroller can measure the change in resistance of the thermistor.
255 +There will be four cooling system sensor on the AR26 vehicle, and all of the sensors include two measurements each. These two signals are water temperature and pressure. With this the temperature delta over the entire cooling system can be measured, but also the overall water flow. If the equivalent orifice of the motors, inverters and other components are known, the flow can be calculated using the orifice equation.
