Description
Part of a series concentrating on fundamental aspects of design and measurement in electronic engineering, this book is directed towards the reader interested in obtaining an integrated understanding of the designing of computer-based measuring systems. Its aim is to give fundamental concepts of designing digital measuring systems. The designer must have a good understanding of microprocessor chips, memory chips and I/O chips, this understanding also extends to transducers for sensing inputs, actuators for control, interfacing devices for communication with other instruments. Recognizing the subject matter is in constant evolution, the author does not mean to present an exhaustive coverage of the wealth of modern technologies applied to the measurement field. Rather, he uses detailed examples and concrete situations to introduce the reader to the many possibilities microelectronic and computer technology afford, providing "measurement" with an ever increasing role in industrial domains.
