CHOICE Review

A reference for both student and researcher who have an interest in instrumentation, sensor and detector designs, and their various applications. There are three major parts: the first provides an overall framework on characteristics and principles of sensors; the second discusses the interface between sensors and peripheral processing devices; and the last is organized by various sensors and the type of variables they measure. Chapters are "Data Acquisition," "Sensor Characteristics," "Physical Principles of Sensing," "Interface Electronic Circuits," "Position, Level, and Displacement," "Occupancy and Motion Detectors," "Velocity and Acceleration," "Force and Strain Sensors," "Pressure and Flow Sensors," "Acoustic, Humidity, and Moisture Sensors," "Light Detectors," "Radiation and Electromagnetic Field Detectors," and "Temperature and Chemical Detectors." Each chapter has a comprehensive list of references and excellent diagrams and figures for the various components. Part of the "Modern Instrumentation and Measurements in Physics and Engineering" series from the American Institute of Physics. Graduate through professional. G. W.
