No defects noted to this tight book with flawles interior text pages The author defines measurement engineering as the application of the science to the design of entire measuring systems. The emphasis is on the system rather than the individual link. Note that the emphasis will not be on accuracy, but on validity. Validity implies that the system output is a true representation of the phenonmenon observed.
