Objective

After completion of this course the student will understand how to calibrate a computer aided measurement device. He will understand to separate systematic errors and random errors, correct systematic errors and describe random errors with fundamental statistical methods. He should be able to create a visualisation of rows of measurements. The student is able to calculate the average error of the mean and to calculate error propagations.

Content

1. Introduction
2. Systematic errors and random errors, separation of them
3. Movement and correction of a linear / non linear characteristic
4. Example for calibration of a device and determination of the random error
5. Range and Precision and error propagation
6. Evaluation of series of measurements

Materials

All learning material is published online in course web-page.
• lecture as pdf or printed out

International connections

Course teachers are Prof. Dr. Jörg Hoffmann & Mr. Werner Trentmann from Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences, Germany.
