Instrumentation and Sensors
Sensors are very important
in the industrial world,
to
measure level in silos
, for instance
in your
"driver" live
, you use "human" sensors along the road,
to
preserve a 500-year-old Peruvian mummy
,
to
determine the kinematics of the Mars Pathfinder Lander
,
to
measure human life parameters
,
…
But, in order to use the right sensor for the right application, some knowledge should be acquired ; it's the aim of this Metrology sub-package…
To know
what a sensor is,
what are its qualities,
what are (sources of) measurement errors,
how some of them work,
in order to use it in the best conditions and
to verify if you acquire good knowlege about sensors terminology
Before going further, please verify your knowledge about basis on Physics and Electronics
