Chapters and sections not included in the course
The course will have a total of four labs. Three of them are practical lab assignments, where you get to practice the whole chain in a measurement system, from setting up simple electonics to analysing the performance of the system. One of the labs is a MATLAB programming exercise, with the purpose of implementing and evaluating a couple of tools for empirical model building.
All lab reports are to be submitted in Fronter. There's a subfolder in the Submission folder for each of the labs. Name your uploads as follows:
MATLAB files needed in labs 1, 2 and 3 can be found here.
The two text books are allowed at the exam, along with Beta, calculator, and language dictionary.
