Student should gain basic, but practically applicable, knowledge and skills in design and implementation of circuits for conditioning and processing of analog signals from sensors, including knowledge of basic procedures for data acquisition and data processing.

The subject knowledge on the secondary school level (especially physics) and knowledge of basic software tools for data acquisition (LabVIEW), electronic components and analog and digital electronic circuits (self-studied or completion of courses BPMT, BREB and BESO) is required.

Not applicable.

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.
