Basic knowledge corresponding to the subjects of "Electronic components and circuits" and "Analog electronics" is required. 
Especially necessary are those of the subject "Instrumentation I", of which Instrumentation II is a clear continuation.

Describe the working principle of the A/D and D/A converters, the data acquisition cards and different 
general purpose electronic instruments, to introduce the specifications that characterize them, as well
as to define the errors that can be committed in a measure.

Identify the main sources of noise and interference and analyze their effects on instrumentation circuits.

Isolation amplifiers.
Filters: Kinds of filters and implementation in instrumentation systems.
Noise: Basic concepts. Kinds of noises in amplifiers. Reduction techniques.
A/D and D/A converters: Specifications and architectures.
Data acquisition cards for instrumentation systems. Introduction to the control of cards and converters through LabView.

Interferences: Interferences and electromagnetic compatibility in instrumentation systems. Reduction techniques.

 Basic instruments: Oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer.

The teaching methodology will combine, in addition to autonomous work, directed and supervised
activities. In the directed activities, master classes, problem and case seminars and laboratory 
sessions will be combined. In the lectures, the lecturer will synthesize and expose the fundamental
concepts of the subject. In the seminars of problems and cases, the students will solve problems
related to the subject. In laboratory sessions, the student will put into practice, in the laboratory,
the acquired knowledge.

The supervised activities will consist of tutorials, in which the student, with a previous appointment 
with the lecturer, will be able to solve, individually or in group, doubts derived from the realization of 
the rest of activities (directed and autonomous).

Activities

 Throughout the semester, activities that the student must solve autonomously out and/or in the classroom 
 will be proposed.

 - The activities, which are mandatory, will represent 15% of the grade of the subject.

 - Requirement: To have carried out all the activities and have minimum grade of 

5 in the average of the grades of the activities, to be able to pass the subject.

 - If the minimum of 5 is not reached in the activities grade, the student may take the final exam provided 
that the conditions to access it are met, which will include ALL the contents of the subject.

Laboratory sessions.

 - Attendance to the laboratory sessions is mandatory.

 - The obtained grade in the laboratory sessions will correspond to 30% of the final grade of the subject.

 - In case that any of the lab sessions has not been performed, 
the Student will fail them and the grade will be zero.

 Requirement: To have carried out all the lab sessions and have a minimum grade of 5 to pass the subject.

 It must be taken into account that laboratory sessions are not recoverable and, therefore, if this part is
 failed, the subject can not be passed.

Exams

 - There will be two partial exams during the semester, each with a weight of 50%.

  The graded obtained between the two exams will correspond to a 55% of the grade of the subject.

  Requirement: Minimum score of 3 in each of the partial tests and 4.5 of average between the two
 partial test to be weighted with other sections.

 - In case the final grade of partial tests is less than 4.5 (or in any of the partial exams is less than 3),
 the student may takethe final exam provided that the conditions to access it are met, which will 
include ALL the contents of the subject.

 The student can take the final exam as long as he has carried out all the activities (which are 
compulsory), all the laboratory sessions (compulsory and with a minimum grade of 5) and at
least a partial test. If the exam is empty, it will be considered that the student has NOT done 
the partial exam.

 - If the student has to go to the final exam, a minimum of 4.5 will be required in the grade of
 this exam to do the average with the lab. sessions. The final exam grade will have a weight of
 70% and will be weighted with 30% of the lab. sessions grade (as long as the minimums are
 reached) to determine the final grade for the subject.

 For the assessment activities, a place, date and time of review will be indicated allowing students
 to review the activity with the lecturer. In this context, students may discuss the activity grade
 awarded by the lecturers responsible for the subject. If students do not take part in this review, 
no further opportunity will be made available

Final grade of the subject in case of failing the subject:

 In case the student does not pass the subject, to determine the final grade that will appear in
 the student'srecords, the following cases are considered:

 1. The student has not taken any of the partial tests or the final exam. The final grade will be
 'Not assessable'.

   2. He/she has not attended to the final exam, but to one or both partial exams and the mark in the partial exams is above the required minimum. If the average of the partial marks does not reach the minimum mark necessary to weight with the rest of marks, the final mark will be the average of the marks of the partial exams.

   3. He/she has not attended to the final exam, but to one or both partial exams. If in some of the partial exams the mark is under the required minimum, the final mark will be the average of the marks in the partial exams, with a maximum of 4.5

4. The student has taken the final exam, but the grade is lower than the minimum necessary to weight with the rest of the grades. 
The final grade will be the highest of the average of the partial tests and the final exam. taking into account the consideration regarding the partial exams grades in 2 and 3.

   5. The student has taken one or both of the partial exams and / or the final exam, but has not performed all the laboratory sessions or activities (or has failed either of these parts). The final grade of the subject will be that of the failed part (if it has been failed) or a zero (if it has not been done).

Excellent with honors.

 The excelent with honors mark will be given on the basis or the criteria fixed by the professors at the end of the year, taking into account the number that can be given and the overall evolution of the course.

Observations

 - Any other case not considered in this regulation, will be analyzed individually.
 - The procedure for the validation of previous years (if applicable) will be established 
   at the beginning of the semester and will be published in the cv.

General remarks.

 1. Notwithstanding otherdisciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with the 
academic regulations in force, assessment activities will receive a zero whenever a student commits
 academic irregularities that may alter such assessment. Assessment activities graded in this way 
and by this procedure will not be re-assessable. If passing the assessment activity or activities in 
question is required to pass the subject, the awarding of a zero for disciplinary measures will also
entail a direct fail for the subject, with no opportunity to re-assess thisin the same academic year. 
Irregularities contemplated in this procedure include, among others: the total or partial copying of 
a practical exercise, report, or any other evaluation activity, allowing others to copy, etc. 

 2. The dates for continuous evaluation and submission of papers will be published on the virtual 
campus and on the School website and may be subject to possible programming changes due to 
possible incidents. Any such modification will always be communicated to students through Campus
Virtual, which is the usual communication platform between lecturers and students.
