Upon completing the course, students will possess the following skills. They are able to
- understand and explain basic concepts and application areas of various sensor types and their coupling to analog and digital read-out circuits (k1/k2);
- precisely and analytically dimension data acquisition and processing systems (k1/k2);
- apply advanced measuring and data processing techniques to more complex experimental tasks not explicitly discussed during the lecture (k3).
|
During the course, the students acquire knowledge in the following areas of advanced measuring methods:
- sensors: voltage- and current-providing sensors, resistive sensors, inductive and capacitive sensors, digitally coded sensors;
- amplifiers and signal conditioning: operational and instrumentation amplifiers;
- data acquisition and conversion: data acquisition boards, digital-analog and analog-digital converters, implementations and errors, sampling theorem;
- architecture and working principles of microcomputers and personal computers: CPU, memory, memory management, system bus, service requests, direct memory access, standard interfaces.
