Data Acquisition - Sensor Connection and Amplifier Principles

Combining all the components of a measuring chain correctly is the key to valid results. This seminar, which includes a large proportion of practical work, will teach you what you need to know about the material.

What is the difference between “piezoelectric” and “piezoresistive"? Can an LVDT be connected in the same way as an inductor? For what purpose do you need a cold junction? We are looking forward to answering these and other questions about how to connect measuring transducers in this seminar.

Using real examples, you will become familiar with the topic of "measurement uncertainty": from the most important influencing variables to the appropriate method of calculation. Our experienced trainers will introduce you to the subject, and in many practical exercises you will gain a deep understanding of measurement uncertainty. HBK Academy ONLINE courses are delivered in real-time with an instructor available to answer questions.
