FYS4240 – Data Acquisition and Control
Course description
Course content
The course introduces data acquisition and control in PC-based systems and embedded systems, for use in instrumentation and control. The course deals with inertial sensors, acquisition of data from these sensors, processing of sensor data, and sensor application in systems with feedback. The course also introduces the development environments LabVIEW and Arduino.
In the course, the student will gain knowledge of some of the most commonly used principles and algorithms for data processing and control of autonomous systems. Examples from aerospace demonstrate different principles of estimation and control, used in missiles and satellites.
Through mandatory assignments, students will work with sensor data acquisition and data processing. This also provides an understanding of sensor errors and error compensation, before use in a measurement system
Learning outcome
After finishing the course the student should:
- master programming of XMEGA microcontrollers.
- have knowledge about programming with LabVIEW.
- master PC-based data acquisition.
- have knowledge about real-time systems and embedded systems.
- have basic knowledge about e
