This book in its second edition incorporates the most recent breakthroughs in the field of instrumentation. It is now thoroughly revised in view of the onset of many solid state devices with high accuracy, as well as the availability of latest electronic chips for faster data collection, with full compatibility for microprocessor interfacing. Salient Features: Elucidates the fundamental principles behind various measuring devices providing details of relevant data gathering, processing, recording, and computation; Includes a chapter on microcontrollers and PC-based data acquisition systems;Provides an insight into solid state thin film type pressure sensors, switched capacitor filters, serial communication, and ink-jet printers; Equips a design engineer to build his own measurementsystem for the parameters discussed; Updated set of review exercises at the end of each chapter.

This text treats measurement as a coherent and integrated subject by presenting it as the study of measurement systems. Divided into three parts, the book discusses: general principles; characteristics and applications of typical sensing, signal conditioning, signal processing and data presentation elements in wide current use; and specialized measurement systems which have important industrial applications.

This student-oriented text familiarizes undergraduates with the electronics involved in scientific instrumentation and control systems for use in research and end products. Suitable for the one- or two-semester courses, the text emphasizes electronics applications, rather than the physics or engineering of a device. This makes the material suitable for students who need a fundamental knowledge of electronics for the laboratory or workplace. Manufacturers' data sheets for nearly every common component are gathered in a convenient appendix, making learning and applications much easier and providing students with a valuable reference tool.

Design, select and operate the latest electronic instruments.Now in an up-to-the-minute third edition, the bestselling Electronic Instrument Handbook, by top technical author Clyde F. Coombs, Jr. and over 30 leading experts, helps you design, select and operate conventional, virtual, and network-based electronic instruments. From calibration, traceability standards, data acquisition, transducers, analog-to-digital conversion, signal sources, processors and microprocessors, power supplies and more, you move on to current and voltage measurement, signal- and waveform-generation, frequency and time measurement and circuit element measurement instruments, microwave passive devices and digital domain instruments. You learn what every instrument type does.. how it works...and how to get the most out of it. You'll also zero in on:*Instrument systems*Software and connectivity for instrumentation - including network connections...instrument drivers...graphical user interfaces...virtual instruments and software defined instruments*Distributed and networked instrumentation, including smart sensors and the Internet*Much, much more!
