Elements of Electronic Instrumentation and Measurements

0.0

Book is appropriate as a primary text for courses in instrumentation and may also be used as a parallel reader in lab courses in instrumentation. Secondarily, it is also appropriate for courses in which the study of electronics instruments or measurement is integral. The text provides a readable introduction to ordinary workshop and laboratory instrumentation. Material is presented through a careful blend of theory and practice to provide a practical text for students who will soon be in the real world, working with electronics. Key Feature a new section on measurement math and statistics has been added to the third edition. Provides students a basis for handling, interpreting, and understanding the data collected by instruments. discussestechnology from the late 19 century to the present to provide a context for the development of current and future technological innovations. presents the theories and process of measurement to provide students with an understanding of the practical uses of the instruments being studied. includes practical material that is oriented toward various fields of measurement: electronic communications, audio, components testing, medical electronics and servicing.
