Electronic Instrumentation and Measurement
Michael Collier and Jade Zheng 郑娟娟
Today's world is an exciting place in which new discoveries and inventions are constantly being made. As we look at these developments, we see that many of them are dependent on electrical signals or power, resulting in a need to be able to measure these quantities accurately. Thus electrical instrumentation is of paramount importance in current technology. This text leads the reader from first principles to advanced applications in this fascinating area. Each chapter comes with a wealth of illustrative examples, as well as assignment questions for lecture-room use.
This book is available from Amazon as either a paperback or Kindle e-book. It has been developed from the textbook produced in China, and republished in the West by permission of the original publishers.
