FYSS6310 Measuring Techniques and Systems (5 cr)
Learning outcomes
At the end of this course, students will be able to name SI units and describe their definitions as well as explain basic concepts of metrology traceability, calibration, uncertainty. Students are able to explain function of different parts of measurement system and compare different sensor/transducer types and select the most suitable for the application. They will be able to measure electrical quantities, identify sources of noise and eliminate them from a measurement system. They will be able to devise a simple measurement system in order to measure physical quantities and construct a simple computer aided measurement in LabView environment as well as explain operating principle of a lock-in amplifier.
