Synopsis

This book is for the student, engineer or technician who understands basic electronics and wants to learn more about electronic measurements. To use instruments effectively, it is necessary to understand basic measurement theory and how it relates to practical measurements. This book explains these fundamentals as well as practical measurement techniques. The book makes extensive use of circuit models or "black boxes" to explain instrument behavior. This circuit model approach reduces the amount of detail that must be remembered and understood.

About this title

From the Back Cover

The purpose of this new work is twofold: first, to enable the user to move from understanding basic electronics to understanding how electric theory relates to practical electronic measurements, and second, to give the user knowledge of what instruments are available, their advantages and disadvantages, and how to choose the right class of instrument for a particular job. It provides a breadth of coverage not readily found elsewhere, including functional descriptions of voltmeters, ammeters, ohmmeters, signal sources, oscilloscopes, frequency counters, circuits for electronic measurements, frequency domain instruments, and logic analyzers. This volume will be of practical use to electrical engineers and technicians who understand basic electronics and want to learn more about electronic measurements.
