Course detail

Measurement Technique

FSI-XMTAcad. year: 2025/2026

The course introduces the students to the principles of computer-supported measurement systems. Possible errors in measurements performed by these systems, their corrections and methods of interpretation of the obtained data are explained.

Language of instruction

Czech

Number of ECTS credits

4

Mode of study

Not applicable.

Guarantor

doc. Dr. Ing. Daniel Prostredník, CSc.

Department

Institute of Production Machines, Systems and Robotics (ÚVSSR)

Entry knowledge

Students are expected to have basic knowledge of metrology, electrotechnics and PC skills.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Course-unit credit is conditioned by 100% attendance at laboratory practicals and approved reports. Examination has a written and an oral part and tests student’s knowledge and his/her ability to apply it in practice.
Seminars are compulsory, attendance is monitored. Absence can be compensated on agreement with the teacher.

Aims

The objective of the course is to introduce the students to the computer-supported measurement systems.
After the course, the students are able to design simple measurement systems made of standard components, for example for measurements of length, temperature, location etc., to evaluate the obtained data and to analyze the possible faults of the measurement chain.

Study aids

Not applicable.

Prerequisites and corequisites

Not applicable.
