Measures and Instrumentation

The theoretical classes consist of powerpoint presentations complemented by solving problems pertaining to the measurement processes.
The laboratories are based on the implementation of VI’s in Labview.
Both the initial exercises proposed with the objective of providing a first contact with Labview and a final project are graded in the laboratorial part of the CU.
The students also perform a research paper subordinated to a theme pertaining to the UC.
There is a final written exam accessible to those who were approved in the laboratory.

To know the working principles of the basic elements of an instrumentation system.
To know the characteristics, applications and limitations of Operational Amplifiers.
To know the basic types of analog-digital and digital-analog converters and their characteristics.
To know the basic principles of signal conversion and storage.
To develop applications in Labview.
To understand the different types of interference, their causes and solutions.
To know the standards pertaining to test and diagnosis of medical equipment.
