This master’s thesis presents a comprehensive approach to leak testing using a mass spectrometer and a tracer gas (helium). After an introduction to the fundamental concepts and an overview of leak‐detection methods (with and without tracer gas), the vacuum system is described in detail, along with the operating principle and calibration of the mass spectrometer. The next chapter covers the design and assembly of the measurement station, followed by the measurement procedure and signal analysis during pumping, including data acquisition and processing of pump‐down curves. The core of the work is devoted to regression analysis: linear regression (least squares method with a sliding window and recursive least squares with exponential forgetting) and nonlinear regression via transformations (logarithmic, exponential, and power). The outcome is the design and implementation of a modular library, RegressionModel, for predicting spectrometer signals, which was validated on real‐world data. Practical tests demonstrated the efficacy of both approaches in forecasting leaks, yielding significant time savings in the testing cycle.

Student představil komisi výsledky své DP. Po přečtení posudků následovaly otázky oponenta a členů komise. Lze kvantifikovat spotřeba hélia, kterou jste snížil. Má vliv teplota (okolního prostředí) přímo v testovacím procesu. Pásy spolehlivosti (vůči šumu). Knihovna Siemens (pochvala). Proč proběhl výběr právě vašich použitých metod (mocninná fce). Počet vzorků vznikl jakým způsobem.
