PERIOD: JUNE - JULY The course, open to all those who perform experimental activity and do not have specific knowledge on analogue and digital electronic circuits, is conceived to analyse and study multi-channel data-acquisition systems, to develop the know-how required for choosing and configuring the components of the measuring chain according to the requirements. Sensors and circuitry commonly employed in the industrial field to adapt the sensor output signals to the analogue-to-digital converter will be studied. Furthermore, the performance of different architectures of data-acquisition systems will be analysed (dedicated systems, data-acquisition boards for personal computer, micro-controller based boards), also revising the most common development environments. Eventually, guide lines for the estimation of the expected uncertainty will be provided. Laboratory experiments will be arranged in order to develop and analyse some case studies.

• Basics on the Analogue-to-Digital (A/D)conversion process and analysis of commercial A/D converters (sampling frequency, conversion time, ideal and real input/output relationship, resolution) • Basic principle of industrial sensors • Conditioning circuitry for passive and active sensors • Architecture of data-acquisition systems  dedicated systems  data-acquisition boards for personal computer  micro-controller based boards • Design criteria of data-acquisition systems and choice of development environments • Basics on the uncertainty contributions related to the components of the measuring chain • Experimental activity: development and analysis of some case studies
