00732 - Electric Measures

Learning outcomes

At the end of the module, the student possesses the basic knowledge of electrical and electronic measurements, in particular, he understands the operating principles of electrical and electronic circuits. He knows and uses the methods for the study of simple electric and electronic circuits, he performs elementary measurements on electric and electronic circuits and knows how to evaluate the results, he understands the relationship between real circuits and the mathematical representation of their behaviour, he knows the analysis of electric signals and the operating principle of measuring sensors and numerical analogue conversion. He knows the analysis of the automatic measuring and regulation bench for one or more physical quantities by analysing each individual electronic block.
