Measurement Systems and Senors

Here's your complete resource on systems and sensors used in industrial measurement. Coverage of new wireless measurement systems and wireless GSM interfacing makes this title unique, providing in-depth, practical knowledge you won't find in any other book. This hands-on reference shows you how to: select the right analog-to-digital conversion method best suited for a specific measurement problem; determine whether to use a cable or wireless interface for optimum data transmission; speed up the data transmission rate in a measuring system with IEEE-488 interface by using the high-speed protocol HS-488.

Nawrocki (electronics, Poznan University of Technology, Poland) explains new wireless measurement systems and wireless GSM interfacing for industrial measurements in this hands-on reference for practitioners. He shows how to select the right analog-to-digital conversion method for a specific measurement problem, how to determine whether to use a cable or wireless interface for optimum data transmission, and how to speed up the data transmission rate in a measurement system. He also introduces new measurement technology which uses WWW servers and LAN computer networks. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
