Measurement and Uncertainty

Measurement procedure and rules for making a good measure, how to write correctly a measurement result. Presentation of the DC power supply and signal generator, connecting cables and visualization of a signal waveform on the DSO. Causes of uncertainty, random and systematic errors, maximum error, metrological compatibility between measures, error propagation law. Random variables, type uncertainty and its evaluation of category A and category B, law of propagation of uncertainty, composed uncertainty, expanded uncertainty.

Digital Multimeter

Presentation of the digital multimeter (DMM), DMM specifications. Measurement of DC voltages, resistances and DC current. Introduction to the Voltmeter-Ammeter Method for Measurement of Resistance. 4-wire measurements.

Digital sampling oscilloscope

Presentation of the digital sampling oscilloscope (DSO), vertical axis settings, vertical axis specifications. Measurement of the effective value of sine and square waveform. DSO horizontal axis settings and specifications, presentation of the probe, compensation of the probe. Frequency and duty cycle measurements. Filter frequency response and response to the step and their measurements. DSO measurement in double trace mode of the absolute value and phase of a RC low pass filter frequency response @ the cut-off frequency. Rise time measurement of a RC low pass filter step response. Measurement with the DSO of the suppressed band slope of the frequency response absolute value of a RLC filter.
