Process measurement technology deals with all aspects of measuring non-electrical quantities. It is therefore more interdisciplinary than almost any other science and is characterised by applications in research and development, production automation and environmental analysis. It forms the basis of all quality assurance, and the measurability of a product is a prerequisite for its marketability. Exceptionally high economic reserves can be tapped through more effective information acquisition and processing. Ever shorter innovation cycles, particularly in the fields of sensor technology and computer-aided measurement acquisition and processing, require a highly up-to-date level of knowledge.

1. Building on the fundamentals of measurement technology: basic sensory principles for measuring non-electrical quantities

2. Disturbance suppression

3. Computer-assisted handling of non-linear characteristic curves

4. Computer-assisted measurement data acquisition and processing

5. Approximation methods for calibration and their advantages and disadvantages in various measurement applications discussed. Mathematical optimisation options for the calibration of measurement systems are presented with the aim of achieving consistent measurement results with a minimum of calibration standards or calibration substances.

The total workload for the module is 150 hours (see also "ECTS credit points and grading").
