Synopsis

The standard laboratory tools in the modern scientific world include increasing numbers of complex measurement and control instruments. However, scientists frequently have difficulty keeping up with the rapid development of new devices and instruments. Scientists learn how to use the instruments which are commonly applied in their particular field, but their general understanding of instrumentation is often insufficient for them to adapt easily to new measurement concepts and unfamiliar equipment. This is partially caused by the fact that important electrical principles, concepts, and circuits, which are basic to the operation and application of modern instrumentation, are classically studied as topics isolated from their applications in medical science, chemistry, physics, and other areas.
