Graduate Courses BIOE 2000

BIOE 2000 - Bioengineering Signal Acquisitions Laboratory

Instructor: Brian Moyer

Credits: 3

Term: Spring

Description: A signal is any physical quantity whose magnitude and variation with time contain useful information.  In order to measure any signal, a physical quantity must first be converted to an electrical pattern (analog or digital, time-varying), such as a continuous voltage or current, via a transducer (sensor).  Conversely, computers can interact with the environment using appropriate hardware to translate digital patterns to physically meaningful control signals.  Lectures for this course will cover real-world issues associated with acquiring and generating signals.  Signals that are relevant for biomedical engineering will be discussed specifically.  Concepts will be reinforced via hands-on laboratory exercises and examples utilizing national instruments labview.  Students will be provided with an overview of the Labview programming language to facilitate the laboratory experience.
