Module name (EN):
Name of module in study programme. It should be precise and clear.
Measurement and Instrumentation Engineering I
Degree programme:
Study Programme with validity of corresponding study regulations containing this module.
Electrical Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2005
Module code: E204
SAP-Submodule-No.:
The exam administration creates a SAP-Submodule-No for every exam type in every module. The SAP-Submodule-No is equal for the same module in different study programs.

Hours per semester week / Teaching method:
The count of hours per week is a combination of lecture (V for German Vorlesung), exercise (U for Übung), practice (P) oder project (PA). For example a course of the form 2V+2U has 2 hours of lecture and 2 hours of exercise per week.
2P (2 hours per week)
ECTS credits:
European Credit Transfer System. Points for successful completion of a course. Each ECTS point represents a workload of 30 hours.
3
Semester: 2
Mandatory course: yes

Applicability / Curricular relevance:
All study programs (with year of the version of study regulations) containing the course.

E204 (P211-0014) Electrical Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2005 , semester 2, mandatory course
Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
30 class hours (= 22.5 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 90 hours (equivalent to 3 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 67.5 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):

Learning outcomes:
By developing an understanding of how practical measurements are conducted, students will be equipped to systematically study the underlying theory and to appreciate how the various aspects of the subject relate to one another. The methods learned in this module provide a solid foundation for students taking the advanced modules: ‘Electrical Engineering Theory’, ‘Electronics’ and ‘Measurement and Instrumentation Engineering II’. The skills and techniques acquired in this course will enable students to successfully complete project work and laboratory courses such as those in Electronics and in Automation Engineering. One of the key areas dealt with in this module is remote measurement using data bus systems.

Laboratory course units
The lab course units are subject to continuous revision. The units currently offered are:
  
B1: IEC Bus – Introduction to digital data transmission using an IEC bus as model system. Measuring the logic levels on individual bus lines; identifying the logical linking of bus line states. Coordination of data transmission as exemplified by the simple two-way communication between the PC and a frequency counter.
 
B9: Automated data transfer between a PC and a measuring instrument and from a PC to a PC. Byte-wise monitoring of the data stream on a simulator. Coordination of data transfer between addressable stations. Serial and parallel polling of bus devices.
 
L2  Introduction to logic analysers and their operating principles – Measuring gate delays, recognizing and testing different trigger options, such as signal level or bit pattern triggering. Testing a D/A converter using the special trigger functions of a logic analyser in conjunction with a digital storage oscilloscope.
 
A3: Antennas – Measuring the current distribution in an antenna. Measuring the horizontal and vertical directional characteristics of an antenna. Determining the gain of an antenna array.
 
V3: Detection and localization of cable defects using a variety of techniques – Wheatstone bridge method and signal and pulse propagation time techniques.
