Instrumentation for Data Acqusition and Proces Control

Lecturer:

Antonín Platil (gar.)

Tutor:

Antonín Platil (gar.)

Supervisor:

Department of Measurement

Synopsis:

An automation of production, quality control or research and development are based on the use of data acquisition systems. Different types of standardized systems, their parameters, programming, and applications are described here. Laboratories are pointing to the programming of frequently used systems using different developing tools.
