Supervisor:

Department of Measurement

Synopsis:

In the industrial environment there are much harder working conditions for measurement and data acquisition systems than in laboratory. Students will acquaint with centralized and distributed systems for data acquisition, preprocessing and transfer. Selected fieldbuses, VME/VXI and PCI systems are introduced. The goal is to provide information necessary for the conceptual open system design. Students also become familiar with heterogeneous system communication and with basics of hardware and software implementation of communication interfaces.
