Elect. Instrumentation

Catalog description

This class aims to introduce electronic instrumentation systems and methods commonly employed to make accurate and meaningful measurements of mechanical and thermal systems. Mechanical quantities include, strain, force, pressure, moment, torque, displacement, velocity, acceleration, flow velocity, mass flow rate, volumetric flow rate, frequency, and time. Thermal quantities include temperature, heat flux, specific heat, and thermal conductivity. Emphasis on electronic instrumentation systems and software environments rather than mechanical measurement systems.
