Features: This book is a practical reference work that comprehensively and systematically discusses modern electronic instruments. It is divided into 12 parts and 47 chapters, covering topics such as the metrological fundamentals of electronic instruments, commonly used key components in instruments (sensors, analog-to-digital converters), data acquisition systems, digital signal processing, embedded computers in instruments, general electronic instruments, various frequency-domain, time-domain, and data-domain instruments, circuit component measurement instruments, optical wave measurement instruments, optical time-domain reflectometers, semiconductor testing instruments, automatic test systems, as well as considerations for hardware, software, and configuration in systems, distributed measurement systems, and more. The book explains the working principles and main performance characteristics of these instruments, and also elaborates on measurement methods for many electrical parameters. Based on measurement practice, the book provides concise and insightful explanations of key issues to be particularly noted when designing, using, or selecting instruments, offering important guidance for practical work. This book is a valuable reference for engineering and R&D personnel, procurement staff, and students and faculty in institutions of higher learning who are involved in the production, use, and development of electronic instruments.
