This course covers the basics of using interrupts in microcontroller-based systems. Although interrupts introduce potential problems to microcontroller designs, sometimes they are the best way or even the only way to solve some problems. As long as the pitfalls are avoided, interrupts are a powerful tool in designing microcontroller-based systems.
This course provides an overview of pressure measurement applications for various industries and methods of using and applying the proper pressure measurement instrument for those applications.
Covered topics will include measurement applications ranging from vacuum to high pressure as well as differential pressure measurement. The course will cover the evolution of pressure measurement, types of pressure measured, methods and instrumentation available for pressure measurement, parameters to consider when selecting a proper pressure measurement device, related standards, and common pitfalls encountered when a pressure sensing device is mis-applied. Also discussed will be inference measurement of flow rate, density, and volume using pressure measurement devices.
