SYDE 292 Circuits, Instrumentation and
Measurement
Instructor Prof. Dan Stashuk DC 2613

jectives Based on E M field concepts define
circuit components and introduce circuit
concepts. Introduce instrumentation components
necessary for making electrical analog
measurements and digitally acquiring these
measurements. Discuss how these components are
configured for making measurements and possible
sources of measurement errors.
