The main purpose of the subject is to provide the theoretical and practical skills for the design and characterization of electronic instrumentation systems, and the range of sensors which provide analogical and digital signal in the input stage of said instrumentation systems. Course outline:
+ Analysis of sensor parameters.
+ Basic concepts about the physical principles of the sensors.
+ The most important application of sensors in electronic instrumentation.
+ Electronic instrumentation architectures, from the simplest point to point systems to the most complex distributed systems. International standards for electronic instrumentation are presented.
+ Design of programmable instrumentation: GPIB, VXI and PXI buses.
+ Classification of architectures for electronic instrumentation. Introduction of wired and wireless field buses.
The documentation of the course will be in Spanish. It will be taught in Galician and Spanish. It will be assessed in Spanish.
