NFYB42 Measurement Technology, 5 ECTS-points
/MÄTTEKNIK/

Advancement level:
B

Aim:
The course should give skills in theortical and practical measurement methods for measuring of both electrical and non-electrical quantities, applied signal analysis and methods to reduce interference. The course should also give enough skills enabling setting up a measurement system and the use of measurement systems comprising PC's and measuring devices equipped with "interface for instrument bus". The course should, futhermore, make it easier to pass constructively and independently lab moments in following physics courses.

Prerequisites:
Attended or attending NFYB 41 Electronics.

Course organization:
Lessons, Physical seminars (see NFYA 45) and laboratory work.

Course content:
Transducer for conversion of physical quantities, for example dimension, pressure, force, temperature, flux and acceleration to electrical quantities. Measuring with different oscilloscope types: oscilloscope with sweep delay, digital storage oscilloscope, digital and analog sampling oscilloscope. Measuring technical standard methods, bridges, optimizing sensitivity, elimination of interference. Applied signal analysis. Fourier analysis. Correlation. Signal analysis with spectrum analyser. Measuring and steering with computer. Interface for example instrument bus, digital/analog-transducer and analog/digital-transducer. Data processing, data storage and presentation.
