Measurement and Instrumentation

At the end of the course the student should be able to: 1. analyse the performance characteristics of each instrument; 2. analyse basic metres such as voltmeters and ammeters; 3. explain different types of signal analysers; 4. explain the basic features of oscilloscope and different types of oscilloscopes; and 5. apply the complete knowledge of various electronics instruments/transducers to measure the physical quantities in the field of science, engineering and technology.

Transducers and applications; general instrumentation, basic meters in DC measurement, basic meters in AC measurements, rectifier, voltmeter, electro-dynamometer, and wattmeter, instrument transformers, DC and AC bridges and their applications general form of AC bridge, universal impedance bridge, electronic instruments for the measurement of voltage current resistance and other circuit parameters, electronic voltmeters, AC voltmeters using rectifiers, electronic multi meter, digital voltmeters; oscilloscope, vertical deflection system horizontal deflection system, probes, sampling CRO; and electronic function. generators.
