COM4LAB Course: Sensor Technology

The COM4LAB course entitled Sensor Technology covers the fundamentals and basic terms of sensors. Typical sensors are explained and practically devised using a number of experiments. The course comprises 10 chapters.

The course covers the following topics:

• temperature measurement

  electronic circuits − temperature sensors: Pt100, NTC, KTY and thermocouple

• pressure measurement
• force measurement

  with strain gauges − with bending bar

• torque measurement

  with torsion bar

• angle and speed measurement

  with optical encoder

• displacement measurement

  resistive − capacitive − inductive − with ultrasonic sensor − with Hall sensor − with reed sensor

• light measurement

The course …

• can be displayed and filled out on your own tablet/smartphone/laptop.
• is platform-independent - a current browser is sufficient.
• can be distributed to students via QR codes.
• enables interactive experimenting: The measured values from the Master Unit are automatically made available for evaluation in tables and diagrams. The analysis and documentation of the experiment on the student device can be done at school or at home.
• can be edited and thus adapted to your own lesson plan.
