Electrical Engineering

Conditioning circuitry for sensors: potentiometer and bridge based. Data transmission techniques, communication channels. General Architectures of the automatic measurement systems. Study and use of the data acquisition systems with analog and digital I/O. Use and characterization of analog to digital converter employed for data acquisition system. The main standards for interfacing measurement instrumentation: IEEE-488, RS232. An overview on USB, LAN, FireWire (IEEE 1394), BlueTooth communication systems. The LabVIEW environment to manage the automatic measurement systems and make data processing. Design of an automatic measurement system for both monitoring and management of an industrial process.

Basic knowledge of electrotechnics, electronics and electrical measurements.

Attendance is not mandatory. However, student participation is strongly recommended for the acquisition of the skills outlined in the objectives of the course with particular attention for the experimental activity.

The assessment of the acquired skills is based on an oral exam structured on three open oral questions. Its objective is to assess the level of understanding of the topics covered in the course, and the student's ability to apply the acquired skills to solve problems related to the design and realization of automatic measurement systems and the development of algorithm for signal processing. The first one is focused on the discussion of the experimental project carried out during the course. The aim is to verify the real comprehension of the theoretical and practical aspect of both design and development of an automatic measurement system. The second one is focused on the architectures of the automatic measurement systems, with the aim of highlighting the student's capability to make design choices on these arguments. The last one is focused on the data communications interfaces, with the aim of highlighting the student's capability of describing it and make design choices depending on the application field. The final exam outcome is obtained averaging the marks given on the single questions. A sufficient mark to each question is required to overcome the exam.

Lectures and experimental activities involving the students. The students will be asked to cooperate on the development of a project regarding the design and realization of an automatic measurement system.
