87231 - Instrumentation for Electrical Engineering M

Academic Year 2020/2021

Learning outcomes

The Course is aimed at providing knowledge of the different kinds of instrumentation for the measurement, diagnostic and characterization of components and systems employed in electrical engineering. Their operating principle, architecture, accessories (sensors, probes, …) and criteria for their proper choice according to the application are dealt with in depth. Guide to their correct use and to the evaluation of the uncertainty affecting the measurement performed with such instrumentation are also provided.
