Medidas e Instrumentação

basic principles of electrical circuit analysis.

There will be no teaching of theoretical or laboratory classes.

This curricular unit aims to raise students’ awareness of the importance that experimental methods can have in solving engineering problems and provide training that allows them to operate, configure and select measurement systems.

Students must acquire the following skills:

– Know and understand the principle and know how to use the main electrical measuring devices;

– Know and understand the operating principle of the different elements of an instrumentation system;

– Know and understand the main characteristics, applications and limitations of Operational Amplifiers;

– Know and understand the main principles of transduction;

– have the ability to develop small applications in Virtual Instrumentation.

1. Fundamentals of Instrumentation

2. International metrological system

3. Measurement of electrical quantities and measuring devices

4. Operational amplifiers: Basic assemblies and limitations

5. Instrumentation and isolation amplifiers

6. Measurement of non-electrical quantities: Transduction principles / Industrial Sensors

7. Virtual Instruments and Automatic Measurement Systems

Theoretical Component: 12 values

- Theoretical assessment is carried out through 2 tests or a final exam.

- Students must have a minimum of 8 points (out of 20) in the 1st frequency to access the second.

- Students without minimums in the 1st frequency will take a normal exam.

- The 1st test will be held on 3/4/2024 and the 2nd test will be held on the day of the exam in the normal season, with students being able to choose to take the second test or the exam.

- Approval conditional on obtaining a minimum of 9 (out of 20) in the theoretical component.

Laboratory Component: 8 values

- The laboratory grade from previous years will be considered.

- Students without laboratory approval will have to undergo a laboratory assessment exam
