Sensor Dynamics

A guide to sensor dynamics, enabling students to experiment and learn using a PC. This package addresses resistive temperature sensor dynamics, and consists of a manual, containing theory and exercises, and an accompanying disk providing a means for experimenting with models of sensors.

The dynamics of sensors is a difficult area for undergraduate students to grasp. For technical and economic reasons it is often impossible for them to gain this knowledge in laboratories. Now updated for use with Windows 98, this package is part of a set of three designed to overcome this problem by enabling students to experiment and learn using a PC. This package consists of a manual, containing theory and exercises, and an accompanying disk providing a means for experimenting with models of sensors. Topics include the design and static characteristics of resistive temperature sensors, the physics of heat exchange, stationary heat exchange in resistive temperature sensors, and the dynamic heat exchange model of resistive temperature sensors.
