Measurement and Data Acquisition Systems

Lecturer:

Tutor:

Supervisor:

Department of Measurement

Synopsis:

An automation of production, quality control or research and development can be made without data acquisition systems. Different types of standardised systems, their parameters, programming, and applications are described here. Laboratories are pointing to the programming of frequently used systems using different developing tools.
