Summary:

The Measurement, Instrumentation and Sensors Handbook describes the use of instruments and techniques for practical measurements required in engineering, physics, chemistry, and the life sciences. The book examines sensors; hardware, software, techniques, and information processing systems, including automatic data acquisition; as well as reduction and analysis, including their incorporation for control purposes. Organized according to measurement problem, the handbook sets up each particular chapter to address the different ways of making a measurement for a given variable. Each chapter presents three levels: basic information without equations and a description of the subject that can be understood by the newcomer; detailed text and mathematical treatment essential for students seeking to discover applications and to solve problems outside their field of specialty; and advanced applications of the subject, evaluative opinions, and areas for future study.
