Course Contents

a) Electrical/ Electronic Variable Measurement. b) Non-Electrical Variable Measurement. c) AC and DC Bridge Circuits d) Data Acquisition System e) Transducer

Course Synopsis

This course covers the basic use and application of sensors, transducers and electronic measuring instruments. The theory of analogue DC and AC measuring instruments is first established which is then used to study analog electronic and digital meters. Different types of sensors and transducer are studied with their analog and digital interfacing. The use and application of different measuring instruments are also covered.

Course Learning Outcomes

Explain the aspects of different instruments/sensors in 1 terms of their use, physical construction, mathematical operation and pros-cons for measuring electrical/physical quantities. 2. Compute the electrical parameters with regard to different designing topologies of voltmeter, ammeter, ohmmeter and watt-meter. 3. Analyze a variety of transducers, electronic circuits and measuring systems used in different fields.
