More About This Textbook
Overview
The object of this book is to provide a comprehensive treatment of the principal issues in modern instrumentation, but without attempting an encyclopedic reference. It thus discusses the basic theory and physic al principles underlying the operation of the various sensors as well as the practical aspects of their operation and their incorporation in to larger systems. The intent is to cover the most important topics in electronics, sensors, measurements, and acquisition systems, always k eeping in mind the needs of practicing scientists and engineers.
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
From the reviews:
"The author has managed to succeed in writing a ‘small encyclopedia of modern instrumentation’ in the size of a textbook with 320 pages … There is a vast spectrum of scientific knowledge and engineering technology included in this book … It is a very good textbook or a reference source for a continuing education seminary and for courses to nonelectronics graduates." IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement
