Graphic programming with virtual instrumentation and programming in LabVIEW. Project planning, project work, data presentation and reporting.
Learning outcome
Expected Learning Outcomes:
Knowledge:
After completing the course, the candidate should be able to:
- explain the behaviour and characteristics of selected biological, mechanical or optical sensors
- describe and interpret static and dynamic characteristics of measurement systems
- describe effect of noise and interference, as well as describe methods for reducing them
- the principles and use of computer assisted measurement techniques with control of instruments, measuring equipment and data collection/transfer.
Skills:
After completing the course, students should be able to:
- design measurement system that meet requirements wrt. accuracy and dynamic response
- model signal and noise and calculate expected target accuracy in a measurement system
- program data acquisition and data presentation
- document experiments and measurement data.
General competence:
After completing the course, students should be able to:
- evaluate specifications, design, construction, and operate a sensor system.
Learning methods and activities
Assignments and lab exercises with submissions. Project work in groups with mile stone deliverables, as well as a final report and presentation for the rest of the class. In general, various forms of student active learning are planned. Guest lectures and other impulses from relevant industry/business and research. There will be a requirement for a certain number of approved submissions.
Compulsory assignments
- Compulsory attendance
- Assignment
Further on evaluation
The assessment in the subject takes place on the basis of submitted project reports. The number of reports and deadlines are given at the start of the semester. All the elements in the portfolio must be passed for a passing final result. It is compulsory to attend the course and some compulsory assignments. Number of assignments and deadlines are given at the start of the semester.
