Features: Intelligent instruments (also known as smart instruments) are the product of the integration of computer technology, modern measurement technology, communication technology, and network technology. In terms of measurement speed, accuracy, sensitivity, automation level, and performance-price ratio, intelligent instruments possess advantages that traditional instruments cannot match. They have become the development direction of instruments and meters. This book is written with the goal of cultivating applied talents, emphasizing the combination of theory and practice while highlighting the development of practical skills. In addition to introducing the development process of intelligent instruments, this book focuses on explaining the typical processing functions and implementation methods of intelligent instruments, including self-diagnostic functions for instrument faults, automatic measurement functions, measurement errors and typical error handling methods, as well as digital filtering. The book also covers common faults, interference, and their handling methods during the manufacturing and application of intelligent instruments. Furthermore, it discusses the composition principles, structural characteristics, and application methods of three typical intelligent instruments to enable students to master general analytical methods for intelligent instruments and improve their practical application skills, achieving the ability to generalize and integrate knowledge. Each chapter of this book is accompanied by review questions and exercises, making it suitable as a teaching material for vocational and technical colleges in electrical and mechanical-electronic engineering majors. It can also serve as a reference for engineering technicians.
