INSTRUMENTATION TUTOR PART II

( 1014B )

SALIENT FEATURES :

Instrumentation Tutor is a very versatile training system. It consists of a wide range of transducers, its
various instrumentation and signal processing methods necessary associated power supplies, excitation sources
and various electromechanical jigs and fixtures for actual working of the various transducers.

Instrumentation Tutor is modular in format, wherein each transducer is treated individually and then, using
the electronic instrumentation, it is shown how they integrate into complete measurement system. The various
transducers covered in this instrumentation tutor utilizes a variety of physical properties so that in total a very
comprehensive treatment of the subject is achieved.

Instrumentation Tutor is specialized bench - top modular study system divided into 3 parts. It is suitable for
most Engineering disciplines. Here mathematics is kept to minimum level consistent with that necessary to cover
the subject adequately. The coverage is equally suitable for fields of electronics and electrical engineering,
chemical engineering, process control and instrumentation physics and also mechanical engineering.

Instrumentation Tutor Part II consists of temperature measurement setup using different type of sensors
and various sensors for Intensity measurement.
