Synopsis:

Static and dynamic properties of measurement instruments. Organisation of a measurement chain. Measurement errors, their sources and corrections. Summary of principles of sensors and transducers for the measurement of physical status values (temperature, position, distance, force, pressure, speed, acceleration, torque, flow, warm, humidity, level elevation, liquid and gas analysis, visual, tactile and proximity sensors). Scanning and processing measuring data. Remote measurement, signal types for data transfer, automation measurement and information systems, processing of measuring values by computer. Calibration and verification of measurement instruments. Contains lectures, 11 laboratories (one technical report) and three tests for clasification.
