About this title

Synopsis

The importance of measuring instruments is well known in the various engineering fields. The book provides comprehensive coverage of various analog, electronic and digital instruments, d.c. and a.c. bridges, signal generators and analyzers, virtual instrumentation and data acquisition system. The book starts with explaining the theory of measurement including characteristics of instruments, classification, standards, statistical analysis and limiting errors. Then the book explains the various analog and electronic instruments such as PMMC, moving iron, electrodynamometer type, true RMS, Q-meter and sampling voltmeter. The book also includes the discussion of various d.c. and a.c. bridges along with necessary derivations and phasor diagrams. The book incorporates the detailed discussion of various types of oscilloscopes including simple, dual beam, dual trace, analog storage, sampling and digital oscilloscope. It also explains the various oscilloscope measurements and Lissajous figures. The book further explains the various signal generators and analyzers. It also covers the discussion of DAC, ADC, various digital instruments and data acquisition system. Finally, the book provides the details of computer controlled systems, virtual instrumentation and fiber optic measurements. Each chapter starts with the background of the topic. Then it gives the conceptual knowledge about the topic dividing it in various sections and subsections. Each chapter provides the detailed explanation of the topic, practical examples and variety of solved problems. The book explains the philosophy of the subject which makes the understanding of the concepts very clear and makes the subject more interesting.
