The course sources provide an extensive tutorial on electronic measuring instruments, covering everything from basic tools to complex analysis systems. Initial sections introduce fundamental devices like voltmeters, ammeters, ohmmeters, and multimeters, detailing their purpose, types (DC and AC), and operational principles. Subsequent chapters explore the performance characteristics of these instruments, distinguishing between static and dynamic properties, and address various measurement errors (gross, systematic, and random), including statistical analysis techniques. The text then discusses specialised equipment such as signal generators, wave analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and oscilloscopes (CRO), including special purpose models and the use of Lissajous figures for frequency and phase measurements. Finally, the sources cover various electrical bridges (DC and AC) for measuring unknown resistance, inductance, and capacitance, and introduce transducers (active and passive) and the components of data acquisition systems.
Electronic Measuring Instruments Course is based on textbook learning material by Academy Europe.

Study Hard AND Study Smart!
Dear Students,
The textbook courses by Academy Europe are targeted at providing the students with the most important aspects of the theoretical and methodical materials. In addition, the textbook courses will also focus on the philosophical background for the development and use of the theoretical background and are thus to be understood as partly complementary to the material of the course notes. It is assumed and strongly suggested that the students study and become familiar with the course notes.
