| Recommended semester: 4th -7th semester |
| Scope and form: Lectures, exercises and project work. |
Evaluation: Project report
Evaluation of report and project |
| Examination: Pass/fail |
| Previous course: 50260 |
| Prerequisites: C4099 / C4501 / C4502 / C4504 / 50250 / 31050 A basic knowledge on the microprocessor and its interfacing with peripherals |
| No credit points with: 50260 |
| Participant limitation: Max. 32 |
| Aim: To give the students an understanding of the use of microprocessors and peripherals in instruments. |
| Contents: First a few lectures are given on the properties of a microprocessor and on how to use it together with keyboards, displays, external storage media, AD and DA-converters. After having tested the microprocessor together with the peripherals in the laboratory, the student selects a project for construction. It may be an instrument that measures some physical parameters, performs calculations and transmits the result to a computer; or the microprocessor may control another instrument or an actuator based on the measured parameters. Finally, the results are described in a report. |
| Remarks: Instead of the prerequisite above, a basic knowledge on microcomputer systems, digital systems, programming and components will suffice. |
