2 0 2 3
OBJECTIVES
• Understand the purpose & methods of measurements, errors associated with
measurements.
• Know the principle of transduction, classifications and the characteristics of different
transducers and its biomedical applications.
• Know the different display and recording devices and working of digital voltmeters and
multimeters.
• Understand the working of light detectors and its applications.
• Understand the working of strain gauges, transducers which are widely applied in designing
in biomedical devices
