The D1750 study module introduces Typical topic areas include:
students to input and output transducers, Basic Control Systems Equipment and signal conditioning circuits and display Terms Used devices through a wide range of practical Positional Resistance Transducers activities. Wheatstone Bridge Measurements The study module includes a transducers Temperature Sensors and instrumentation trainer and a Light Measurement curriculum manual. Linear Position or Force Applications Environmental Measurement When used in conjunction with a student Rotational Speed or Position personal computer (PC), the curriculum Measurement manual is fully compatible with the Sound Measurements ClassAct computer managed learning Sound Output system. Linear or Rotational Motion The curriculum manual is divided into a Display Devices series of chapters. Each covers a specific Signal Conditioning Amplifiers topic area and provides background Signal Conversions theory, practical activities and student Comparators, Oscillators and Filters assessment questions. Mathematical Operations Control Systems Characteristics Each chapter is designed around a list of Practical Control Systems performance objectives. These objectives are used by the ClassAct management Typical activities include: system to generate a student competency Compare the applications of a carbon report. track variable resistor with those of a wire-wound type. A student workbook is also provided, allowing students to record basic theory Deduce temperature from a voltage reading across a transducer. and practical results as they work through the curriculum manual.
