to material about basic electrical measurements)
If you can't take measurements, you will never know how your circuit or
experiment is working. Most data becomes electrical data at some
point, so this is about basic electrical measurements.
-
Why learn about basic
measurements?
-
If you are an engineer
or scientist you need to be able to make measurements and you're better
off if you have a knowledge of basic instruments and how to process data
from those instruments.
-
What should you know to
learn about basic measurements?
-
What do you need to know
about measurements?
-
You need to know some
basic
concepts about how voltage and current are measured.
-
You need to know how to
use basic instruments like voltmeters,
and their limitations.
-
How do you use measurements?
-
You will often store measured
values in data files, and analyze
that data with analysis programs like Mathcad, Matlab or Excel.
