He also focused on measurement principles, mechanical temperature measurement, operating principles, limits of permissible error i.e. accuracy classes and drift, types of sensors, different types of wiring, comparison of systems, thermocouple classification, applications, basic principles of signal processing, as well as selection and design criteria.
The presentation concluded with an overview and in-depth technical insight of the subject matter.
