Objetivos

•Describe measurement characteristics in terms of accuracy and uncertainty of sensors and actuators.
•Specify and design functional modules for measuring non-electrical quantities electrically. Dimensioning devices for converting electrical signals into standardized values.
•Know and characterize different sensors used in the car to measure different variables.
•Based on the transducers studied, know and characterize different actuators used in the car to change the parameters of the variables.
•Know and describe the main means of transmitting signals in the car.
•Understand and build in blocks a measurement chain established between sensor and actuator elements.
