PHYS 2310 - Automated Experimental Measurements

UG
Credit Hours: 3

This is a required course for Physics majors. This course serves as an introduction to electronic lab equipment and use thereof for automated experiment, an important tool of modern scientific exploration. Through the use of LabVIEW, a graphical programming engine with roots in C, students will learn how to program in Lab VIEW, use analog and digital input/ output, control and read transducers; develop systems for motion control, and interfacing with high level electronic devices. This course is a transformation from general physics knowledge to upper level physics. Students entering their junior year of physics curriculum will find this course useful for improving their research skills before they enter the upper division courses requiring experimentation.

Prerequisites: PHYS 2520 or instructor’s permission.
Lecture Hours: 2
Lab Hours: 3

When Offered: (Fall)
