The Electrical Engineering Handbook Series: The Measurement, Instrumentation and Sensors Handbook

The Measurement Instrumentation and Sensors Handbook describes the use of instruments and techniques for practical measurements required in engineering, physics, chemistry, and the life sciences. The book examines: Sensors, Hardware, Software, Techniques, Information processing systems, Automatic data acquisition. Reduction and analysis as well as their incorporation for control purposes. Organized according to the measurement problem, each section addresses the different ways of making a measurement for a given variable. Chapters present three levels: Basic information without equations and a description of the subject that can be understood by the newcomer. Detailed text and mathematical treatment essential for discovering applications and solving problems outside ones field of specialty Advanced applications of the subject, evaluative opinions, and areas for future study.
