Sensors Principles of Electrical Measurement, (Paperback)

The field of electrical measurement continues to grow and new techniques are developed each year. From the basic thermocouple to state-of-the-art virtual instrumentation, it is also becoming an increasingly "digital" endeavor. Principles of Electrical Measurement builds a solid foundation in the necessary background concepts and fundamentals needed to develop and use modern electrical instruments. The author briefly introduces classical methods before delving into such topics as data acquisition, signal conditioning, applications of computers and digital signal processors in measurement, and virtual measurement techniques. The book prepares readers to apply this knowledge in practice.
