The inclusion of an electrical measurement course in the undergraduate curriculum of electrical engineering is important in forming the technical and scientific knowledge of future electrical engineers. This book explains the basic measurement techniques, instruments, and methods used in everyday practice. It covers in detail both analogue and digital instruments, measurements errors and uncertainty, instrument transformers, bridges, amplifiers, oscilloscopes, data acquisition, sensors, instrument controls and measurement systems. The reader will learn how to apply the most appropriate measurement method and instrument for a particular application, and how to assemble the measurement system from physical quantity to the digital data in a computer. The book is primarily intended to cover all necessary topics of instrumentation and measurement for students of electrical engineering, but can also serve as a reference for engineers and practitioners to expand or refresh their knowledge in this field.

Market_Desc: Departments: Mechanical, Aerospace, Civil and Petroleum Engineering, Engineering Mechanics, Courses: Engineering Measurements & Lab, Engineering Instrumentation, Cluster with: Figliola/Measurements. Special Features: Emphasis on electronic measurements, basics of electronic circuits. · New problems throughout text. Material on the basics of electronic circuits presents the basic fundamental principles of electronics for better comprehension of the operation of instrument systems. · Detailed model of piezoelectric sensor behavior and built-in voltage follower circuit description helps the engineering student understand the implications of how the sensor is connected to the outside world for signal recording purposes. · Analysis of Vibrating Systems introduces the pitfalls that can cause misinterpretation of data. About The Book: This edition was written to address the changes that have occurred in the engineering measurements field since 1984 and to better integrate a course in measurements with other educational objectives in the engineering curricula. The text provides detailed coverage of the many aspects of digital instrumentation currently being employed in industry for engineering measurements and process control. Heavy emphasis is placed on electronics measurements. Every chapter has been updated; three new chapters have been added.

Introduction to instrumentation. Fundamentals of electronic-measurement instruments. Fundamentals of signal-generation instruments. Using electronic instruments. Instrumentation systems. Current- and voltage-measurement devices. Circuit-element measuring instruments. Signal-generation instruments. Frequency- and time-measurement instruments. Recording instruments. Special-function instruments. Microwave passive devices.

The book gives an insight into today's operational measurement technology including analysis technology, without claiming to be complete. For the student, the book is an introduction in addition to the relevant textbooks and manuals. It gives the engineer in the profession a quick overview of measurement methods and instruments not familiar to him. In this book not only the components of measurement technology are presented transparently, but also the analog components that are necessary for the construction of measurement and control systems. The theoretical basics and the measuring methods are as much a part of the book as the description of systems, devices and measuring equipment. By indicating measuring ranges and error limits, additional reference points for the application are given, whereby the values mentioned are to be regarded as minimum values due to the constant technical development. This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Messelektronik und Sensoren by Herbert Bernstein, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2014. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.
