Description
Instrumentation (the choice and use of sensors and the processing of signals from them) is a subject of importance to engineering, science, and medicine. From the student undertaking a laboratory investigation to the operators of a nuclear power plant or medical equipment, accurate measurements are an essential pre-requisite to the understanding and control of all physical processes. This is a concise text covering data acquisition and analysis in an integrated fashion. This book is intended for instrumentation course in EE Department or as part of mechanical, aerospace, automotive, etc. engineering degree.
