FYS3240 – Data Acquisition and Control
Course description
Course content
The course introduces data acquisition and control in PC-based systems and embedded systems, for use in instrumentation. The course deals with inertial sensors, acquisition of data from these sensors, processing of sensor data, and sensor application in systems with feedback. The course also introduces the development environments LabVIEW and Arduino.
Through mandatory assignments, students will work with sensor data acquisition and data processing. This also provides an understanding of sensor errors and error compensation, before use in a measurement system.
Learning outcome
