Learning Goals
The purpose of this module is to provide students fundamental concepts of metrology in its Physical and instrumental aspects. This is to provide ability to use instruments for measuring analog and digital as well as the use and implementation of algorithms for processing experimental data.
Contents
Theory and practice
Introduction to Metrology: History, Definition, Units and fundamental laws of physics. Notion of uncertainty and error propagation law of errors and uncertainties. Application to experimental data. Curve fitting by the least squares criterion.
Transducers measure: Definition, Physical Principles, Applications. Classifications of the measurement transducers.
Electrical analogue instruments: galvanometer, voltmeter, ammeter, ohmmeter, wattmeter, phase meter, oscilloscope, etc. ..)
Measurements of electrical quantities (voltage, current, resistance, impedance, etc ....)
Measurement of quantities other than electrical: displacement, velocity, force, temperature, ...)
Geophysical measurements and environmental parameters.
Introduction to digital instrumentation.
Signal processing algorithms: DFT, FFT, Adaptation of models.
