Advanced Instrumentation and Computer I/O Design: Real-Time Computer Interactive Engineering [Paperback]

Patrick H. Garrett (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 19, 2000 | ISBN-10: 0780360133 | ISBN-13: 978-0780360136 | Edition: 1

This advanced text addresses system error analysis and performance accountability in a comprehensive and up-to-date manner. Covering a wide range of topics from instrumentation, sensors, and signal conditioning through digital conversion and signal reconstruction, the author employs model-based methods for characterizing the design and analysis of real-time computer I/O systems.

Advanced Instrumentation and Computer I/O Design provides an improved understanding of computer interfacing and includes these key features:

• Accurate data from the analog input circuits through the data conversion devices and output reconstruction components
• Descriptions of component errors including average filter errors, signal quality errors and the intersample error representation and improvement of sampled-data signals
• The extension to advanced interfacing and distributed I/O systems such as imaging and digital control

This book will be of particular interest to engineers, technologists, and scientists involved in the design, selection, or application of real-time computer I/O and its associated instrumentation for the broad tasks of measurement and control.

3.0 out of 5 stars Really Good Book but a bit desorganized, January 27, 2012

aesanchez - See all my reviews

This review is from: Advanced Instrumentation and Computer I/O Design: Real-Time Computer Interactive Engineering (Paperback)

The book is really complete in the sense that it covers a big deal of information which usually you have to go to several sources. I tried to use this book for my class in sensors and instrumentation, unfortunately I have to say the book is not well organized and does not gives clear explanations, it also lacks of example exercises.

I will really like to see a second edition of this book with much more work put into it I am sure it will get to be an excellent class book.
