This new edition of the bestselling Measurement, Instrumentation, and Sensors Handbook brings together all aspects of the design and implementation of measurement, instrumentation, and sensors. Reflecting the current state of the art, it describes the use of instruments and techniques for performing practical measurements in engineering, physics, chemistry, and the life sciences; explains sensors and the associated hardware and software; and discusses processing systems, automatic data acquisition, reduction and analysis, operation characteristics, accuracy, errors, calibrations, and the incorporation of standards for control purposes.
Organized according to measurement problem, the Second Edition:
- Consists of 2 volumes
- Features contributions from 240+ field experts
- Contains 53 new chapters, plus updates to all 194 existing chapters
- Addresses different ways of making measurements for given variables
- Emphasizes modern intelligent instruments and techniques, human factors, modern display methods, instrument networks, and virtual instruments
- Explains modern wireless techniques, sensors, measurements, and applications
A concise and useful reference for engineers, scientists, academic faculty, students, designers, managers, and industry professionals involved in instrumentation and measurement research and development, Measurement, Instrumentation, and Sensors Handbook, Second Edition provides readers with a greater understanding of advanced applications.
"The new edition of this manual shows the state of the art of measures, instrumentation, and sensors used in the field of biomedical engineering. It describes the use of instrumentation and techniques for performing underlying practical measures required particularly for medical sciences, explaining in detail the sensors that are used as well as the techniques, hardware, and software associated. ... The second edition certainly offers the most complete source of reference."

"… a superb and well treated collection of engineering topics delving in-depth in the essential MEASUREMENT activity of almost any variable there is."
—Max E. Valentinuzzi, Institute Biomed Engineering-University Buenos Aires, Argentina
"… Even though different experts in their respective fields wrote the chapters; they are well-written and clear demonstrating the expert editing done by Professors Webster and Eren. The wide base of experts drawn together for this book demonstrates the broad coverage of this book by leading experts in the field of instrumentation.
—Michael R. Neuman, Michigan Technological University, Houghton, USA
"This is a very interesting, and moreover incredibly thorough, treatment of all aspects relating to sensors and measurements. … The material presented on soft sensors was very much a representation of the state-of-the-art whilst also being understandable and a good introduction to the subject."
