Course detail
Measurement of physical quantities
FEKT-BMFVAcad. year: 2013/2014
The course presents basic sensor principles, their parameters and construction. It deals with instrumentation, non-electrical quantities measurements concepts and procedures. It also presents the differences between conventional electrical measurements of the electrical quantities and non-electrical quantities on the real industry systems. Also the optical sensors, data collecting and acquisition processes are presented.
