Topic Lecture Force Measurements Introduction to load cells Elastic element design Use of force sensors in industrial settings Calibration of force transducers Exam-type exercises Motion measurements Potentiometers Encoders and lasers A/D Converter Boards Teory of signal sampling and quantization Circuits for A/D conversion LabVIEW CORE 1 Introduction to LabVIEW Creating the first application Troubleshooting and debugging - Using Loops Arrays - Case structures Sub Vis Acquiring Measurments with Hardware LAB Session - Acquiring Measurements with Hardware Accessing Files Using state machines Exam-type exercises

Basic course in Mechanical and Thermal Measurements

Ernest O. Doeblin, Measurement Systems: Application and Design. LabVIEW CORE 1 Participant Guide, NI

Students are invited to come to class regularly. However, attendance is not strictly required.

The exam consists of a written assignment in class. The student is asked to answer some theoretical questions, to solve some exercises, and to answer multiple choices questions about LabVIEW programming. The evaluation of the paper submitted will generate a grade with a maximum value of 30. Students with a grade higher than 17 can register their grade or ask for an additional oral exam session where they try to improve their grade. The oral session is mandatory for students with a written grade between 15 and 17. Students with a grade below 15 are not admitted to the oral exam and need to repeat the exam at the next session available.

The course is taught in class with theoretical lectures, interactive lab exercise sessions, exam simulations.
