Topics

Lectures 

The nearly 17 h of lectures (not including lab sessions) covered a broad range of topics from the basics to some special aspects. The topics covered at the 4th short course included 
  • Introduction and comparison of most common used gas sensor technologies, including a description of driving electronics and operation conditions.
  • Examples of various gas sensors systems.
  • Overview on sensor array architectures and smart sensors
  • Overview of common electrical interfaces and bus systems
  • Introduction to the smart sensor standard IEEE 1451
  • Introduction to reference implementations of IEEE 1451 for gas sensor systems
  • Introduction to the NOSE II standard data format for sensor systems
  • Presentations and discussions on various applications in industry and research

Lab Session 

A new session was introduced in this short course. For the first time a lab was established. The goal of those practical exercises in the afternoons was to integrate the participants and to have a two way learning process. The participants had the opportunity to practice the theory learnt in the morning and to ask the present experts questions. For this purpose measurement devices based on IEEE 1451 were development by the NOSE II standardisation working groups.  A total of 9 h was devoted to the practical exercises from Monday to Thursday.

The lab sessions included
  • Characterization of gas sensors, calibration, response to different analytes
  • Practical work with IEEE 1451 compliant gas sensor systems
  • Introduction to software tools and platforms for IEEE 1451 and the NOSE standard data format
  • Analysis of the measurement data obtained with the gas sensor modules
  • Demonstration of interoperability of standard conformant devices (NOSE II STIM/Agilent NCAP and TII Interface/Agilent STIM)

Visit of FORTH Laboratories

For Thursday afternoon a visit to the nearby FORTH laboratories in Heraklion was offered to the participants. At the site, an introduction by the host Prof. Giorgos Kiriakidis, to the FORTH foundation and the research centre in Heraklion was given. After the presentation the participants were able to have a closer look on the institution during the lab tour. It was guided by group members of his laboratories. This tour gave some interesting insides in the research fields at IESL from material science (e.g. preparation of chemical gas sensors) to basic research using laser spectroscopy. It was a nice occasion for discussion as well.
