Basic Electronic Instrument Handbook

Since the original edition of this classic reference was published more than 20 years ago, the tools of the electronics trade have grown ever more powerful and sophisticated. What hasn't changed is the need for the easy-to-access handbook of instrumentation that engineers can look to for quick and complete descriptions... and that non-engineers can rely on to demystify instrument technology. That's why more than 400,000 electronics and electrical engineers-not to mention scientists, technicians, and managers-will welcome this totally updated second edition of Electronic Instrument Handbook. With entries contributed by leaders from both industry and academia, and with the unqualified support of Hewlett-Packard, this compendium of information remains the single resource for selecting the right piece of equipment and finding out what it does, how it does it, and how to get the most out of its use.
