Measurement is the process of obtaining the magnitude of a quantity relative to an agreed standard. Electronic measurement, which is the subject of this book, is the measurement of electronic quantities like voltage, current, resistance, inductance, and capacitance, to name a few. This book provides practical information concerning the techniques in electronic measurements and knowledge on how to use the electronic measuring instruments appropriately. The book is composed of five chapters. Chapter 1 focuses on digital multimeters. You will learn how to use it for measurement of AC/DC voltages/currents, resistance, connection test, and diode forward voltage drop test. Chapter 2 focuses on power supplies. Although power supplies are not a measurement device, they have an undeniable role in many measurements. So, being able to use power supplies correctly is quite important. Chapter 3 focuses on function generators. Like the power supplies, the function generators are not a measurement device in the first look. However, they play a very important role in many electronic measurements. So, being able to use a function generator correctly is an important skill any technician or engineer needs. Chapter 4 focuses on oscilloscopes. These days, digital oscilloscopes are the most commonly used tool in both industry and university. Because of this, this chapter focuses on digital oscilloscopes not on the analog ones which are almost obsolete. Chapter 5 focuses on drawing graph of data you obtained from your measurement. Visualization of data is very important in practical works. This chapter show how you can use MATLAB® for drawing the graph of your measurements. This book could be used a laboratory supplement for students of electrical/mechanical/mechatronics engineering, for technicians in the field of electrical/electronics engineering, and for anyone who is interested to make electronic circuits.

The book is meant for B.E./B.Tech. students of different universities of India and abroad. It contains all basic material required at undergraduate level. The author has included "Examination questions" from several Indian Universities as solved examples. The sections on "Descriptive Questions" and "Multiple Choice Questions" contains the theory type examination questions and objective questions respectively.

In this edition, the book has been completely updated by adding new topics in various chapters. Besides this, two new chapters namely : "Microprocessors and Microcontrollers" (Chapter-13) and "Universities Questions (Latest) with Solutions" (Chapter-14) have been added to make the book still more useful to the readers.

The book provides a readable introduction to ordinary workshop and laboratory instrumentation. Material is presented through a careful blend of theory and practice to provide a practical book for those who will soon be in the real world, working with electronics. KEY TOPICS: Contains a section on measurement math and statistics. Discusses technology from the late 19 century to the present to provide a context for the development of current and future technological innovations. Presents the theories and process of measurement to provide readers with an understanding of the practical uses of the instruments being studied. Includes practical material that is oriented toward various fields of measurement: electronic communications, audio, components testing, medical electronics and servicing.

This book provides comprehensive coverage of basic measurement system, development in instrumentation systems. It covers both analog and digital instruments in detailed manner. It also provides the information regarding principle, operation and construction of different instruments, recorders and display devices. Special Chapters 4 and 5 are devoted for measurement of electrical and non-elements and data acquisition systems. It gives an exhaustive treatment of different type of controllers used in process control. This book is simple, up-to-date and maintains proper balance between theoretical and practical aspects regarding instrumentation systems. It is useful to Degree and Diploma students in Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering and also useful for AMIE students.

In the modern scientific world, a thorough understanding of complex measurements and instruments is the need of the hour. The second edition of the book provides a comprehensive coverage of the concepts and principles of measurements and instrumentation, and brings into fore the recent and significant developments in this field. The text now offers an exhaustive exposition of different types of measuring instruments and their applications in an easy-to-grasp manner. It presents even the minute details of various measurement techniques and calibration methods, which are the essential features of a measurement programme. The book elaborates on the theoretical background and practical knowledge of different measuring instruments to make the students accustomed to these devices. An in-depth coverage of topics makes the text useful to somewhat more advanced courses and its elaborated methodology will help students meet the challenges in their career. This book is ideally suitable for the undergraduate students of Electrical and Electronics, Electronics and Communication, Electronics and Telecommunication, and Instrumentation and Control disciplines of engineering.
