This review is from: Practical Data Acquisition for Instrumentation and Control Systems (IDC Technology) (Paperback)
General speaking, the book is good with alot of details for control and DA process, the reason I gave it 1 star is after some time of using the book, I reached a chapter which I didnt read before, and I discovered 30 missing pages with 30 others repeated, the replacment was also defected, I think the publisher should have fixed the problem by now.
