Transducer Fundamentals (91019)

The Transducer Fundamentals Course guides students through the circuits and devices that convert physical properties into electrical quantities for the purpose of measurement and control.

Students learn the principles of input and output transducers and how physical quantities such as heat, position, proximity, and force are converted to electrical signals for detection and processing by computer and control systems.

As an option, this circuit board can be interfaced with the 32-Bit Microprocessor board to demonstrate the principles of data acquisition and microprocessor control of external devices in process control and automation applications.

The students may take the course using the Mind-Sight Learning Management System or the non-computer FACET System.
