Welcome to the PHY351/PHY651 WEB SITE!

This course is an introduction to the signal processing and data analysis techniques presently used in several different physics research and modern medicine research laboratories. It will give you some background on data acquisition systems, analog electronics, sensors and transducers commonly used in electronics research laboratories. You will be able to design GUIs and data acquisition algorithm building your virtual instrument with Labview software. The course is hands-on and your observations are the starting point of your learning process.
You will also most likely enjoy the occasional frustration that are unavoidable companions of research in experimental physics. During the last month of the semester you will work on a research project that you will present at a class symposium that will be organized at the end of the semester.
