Abstract: This article examines the application of open-source software products in the education of students on topics related to temperature measurement with resistive sensors. A specific educational example is considered, including the main stages of the design of the interface circuits between the sensor and the system for data acquisition and digital processing - e.g. microcontroller. Possibilities for facilitating the analytical derivation of the transfer function of the circuits, comprehensive analysis of the measurement error, and optimization of circuit in the context of reducing the measurement error, are considered.
