Optical detectors (CCD principles, photodiodes and photomultipliers, their applications in optical spectroscopy), temperature sensing (thermocouples, resistors, semiconductor sensors), gas pressure, voltage/frequency converter, linear variable transformer, force,flow and chemical sensors.

Switching elements (thyristors and semiconductor relays), stepping motors and electromagnetic valves.

3. Electrical signal treatment and measuring circuits.
Measuring and switching of the electrical signals, continuous and discrete signal, signal filtering, analog signal treatment. Operational amplifiers (principles, various circuitry for different applications), comparator, sampling circuits (sample/hold, track/hold), V/I converters, V and I reference sources, active filters.

Fundamental principles of digital circuits, registers, counters, memory.

Function generators (analog and digital frequency synthesis), digitally programable amplifiers and potentiometers, small signals switching, synchronous signal detection, Lock-In amplifier, signal digitization, principles and basic circuitry of different types of A/D and D/A converters

4. Personal computer architecture.
PC basic architecture, its internal communication, CPU architecture (microprocessor types), memory types (overview), input/output circuits, standard serial and parallel interfaces (PIO, Centronics, USB, Firewire, IEEE-488, RS 232-C, RS 422, RS 485 etc.), local network in physical laboratory.

5. Intelligent measuring instruments.
Microcomputer based intelligent measuring instruments and regulators and their interfacing. Data acquisition and process control PCI and ISA plug-in boards.

A practical demonstration of intelligent measuring and regulation instruments will be held in the faculty labs.
