Features: This book aims to provide the fundamental technologies and skills required for sensor applications. It systematically introduces the principles, characteristics, and parameters of sensors, signal processing methods and interface technologies, anti-interference techniques, display and control instruments, basic knowledge of measurement and error handling, sensor selection, installation, and adjustment techniques. It also covers the detection technologies for mechanical quantities such as displacement, force, torque, load, speed, and acceleration, as well as process quantities like temperature, pressure, flow, and level. Additionally, it includes humidity detection, gas analysis, detection, imaging, and security technologies, as well as intelligent and automatic testing technologies. The book is divided into 14 chapters. It comprehensively introduces the principles and characteristics of resistive, capacitive, inductive, eddy current, piezoresistive, ultrasonic, Hall effect, photoelectric, fiber-optic, laser, thermistor, gas-sensitive, humidity-sensitive, ion-sensitive, and frequency-type sensors, as well as digital encoders, inductive transducers, magnetic grating, and optical grating sensors. It also includes new types of sensitive elements such as infrared, ultraviolet, CCD, PSD, and color sensors and their applications. The book emphasizes the cultivation of students' skills in applying sensors, such as the installation techniques for proximity sensors, pressure sensors, and inductive transducers, as well as the installation techniques for infrared, ultrasonic, and microwave detection and anti-theft alarms. Additionally, the book provides numerous practical circuit examples and practical device construction demonstrations. The content is rich, novel, concise, clear, well-structured, focused, highly practical, and accompanied by appropriate exercises at the end of each chapter. The book is suitable for teaching and serves as a practical and highly functional textbook that adapts to economic development, technological progress, and production practices. It can be used as a textbook for students in higher vocational colleges majoring in automation technology, electrical automation technology, mechatronics technology, building intelligence technology, and precision machinery manufacturing technology. It is also suitable for adult education and vocational training, as well as for reference by engineering technicians in related fields.
