Aims

The goal of the course is to obtain students with basic non-electrical quantities measurement methods. It should allow knowledges for qualified solution of the most appropriate method, sensor type and instrumentation, notice to the problems beared on measurement channel design (parasitic effects, calibration, diagnostics and next).

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

The content and forms of instruction in the evaluated course are specified by a regulation issued by the lecturer responsible for the course and updated for every academic year.
