SensorsLaajuus (3 ECTS)

Objective

After completing this course students learn characteristics of sensor-based measurement system structure and sensor operations. Purpose and performance of a steady state and dynamic measurement systems are studied. Linearity, offset levels, calibration methods, noise of sensors and error sources of measurement systems are studied. Students learn environmental effects into the sensor systems. Student is able to build sensor based measurement structure which can be electrically connected into the automated measurement system. Student is familiar with all limitations of the measurement application. Student is able to connect sensor measurement signal into basic measurement system application.
The most important technologies in sensor applications and principles and characteristics of sensing elements are covered. Students are able to build own sensor based measurement system.
