Categories > IT & Software Category           Digital Data Acquisition       Program Duration : 5 Days Program Date : 12-16 May, 2012 Program Location : Cairo, Egypt Program Fees : US$3200/Per Person    PROGRAM INTRODUCTION:   The objective of the course is to provide participants with the knowledge required to specify, evaluate and use a wide variety of digital data acquisition systems in laboratory and field applications. Basic principles of sampling and digitizing theory are presented and reinforced with practical examples from everyday testing operations.     PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: The course objective is To help participants to understand basic mechanical and structural concepts and terminology It is not an in-depth mechanical engineering course but rather a course aimed at individuals who require an intensive review of basic principles, without the assumption of any prior knowledge of the topic.   WHO SHOULD ATTEND? This course is intended for laboratory  Field test technicians and engineers.   PROGRAM OUTLINE:    Overview of the Measurement Process — the System Approach Basic Concepts Basic calculations The Fourier Transform as a "Black Box"   Sampling and Digitization Theory Data Acquisition Hardware Signal Conditioning Amplifiers Common-mode rejection — Transducer wiring practice Anti-alias filters Estimating aliasing errors for different filter types Filter/Sample-rate tradeoffs Sample-and-hold amplifiers Multiplexers Analog-to-digital converters   The Computer System Candidate computer systems — tradeoffs Interface concepts — speed, implementation ease and robustness   Types of Digital Acquisition Systems Data Analysis Evaluating Data Acquisition Systems Simple tests to evaluate system accuracy/capability Specifying a system How do you specify a system to get what you want?
