Publisher's Synopsis
This text covers principles of measurement, instruments, and instrumentation, examining electronic measurements from a systems viewpoint, and devoting a significant part of the text to analysis of measurement problems associated with systems.;In the belief that students must understand what influences measurement before they can understand measurement, these authors examine everything which affects measurement, from input transducers to final data analysis. In this one volume, they offer a comprehensive, systematic treatment of measurement and instrumentation technology, including data and data analysis, instruments, instrumentation circuits, and a wide variety of measurement systems.;More than five hundred figures - charts, graphs, tables, and illustrations - help verbally explain concepts. Numerous black-and-white photographs show currently-used instruments.
