SENSORI E SISTEMI DI ACQUISIZIONE DATI
(objectives)
Educational aims: The main objectives of the Sensors and Data Acquisition systems course is to give the student the knowledge of the analysis methods and acquisition systems focusing the attention on the hardware and software (Labview) developed by National Instrument. A deep knowledge on the inertial measurement systems will be provided to the student.
Expected learning outcomes: Knowledge and understanding: knowledge of the working principle of the data acquisition systems, knowledge the software Labview, knowledge of inertial sensors, understanding the body kinematics in order to better understand the algorithms that are implemented for the analysis of inertial sensor outputs. Applying knowledge and understanding: understanding of the right scientific and methodological approach to the measurements; learning how to program in Labview language in order to acquire and analyze electrical signals. learning to independently perform a calibration procedure of sensors such as thermistors, distance sensors, accelerometers, and gyroscopes. Making judgements: the student will be able to understand the experimental results; knowing how to choose the best instruments that has to be used as a function of the required measurements for the analysis of motion; the student will be able to independently implement software for the data acquisition and analysis. Communication skills: the student will be able to report on experiments and to read and write calibration reports and datasheets; understanding of software written in Labview. Learning skills: the ability to apply the learned methodological accuracy and the Labview software to different measurement setups than those studied in the Sensors and Data Acquisition systems course.
