PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS AND ANALYSIS OF MEASUREMENT INSTRUMENTS

This document examines the significance of several performance parameters in instrumentation and their corresponding relationships. In-depth analyses are provided for static sensitivity, scale readability, accuracy, bias, precision, reliability, maintainability, and error analysis. The performance qualities of instruments have a significant impact on their accuracy, reliability, and utility. Understanding their interdependencies and significance enables academics and practitioners to make well-informed decisions, process data efficiently, and provide meaningful measurement outputs.

INSTRUMENTATION AND MEASUREMENT IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

The inclusion of an electrical measurement course in the undergraduate curriculum of electrical engineering is important in forming the technical and scientific knowledge of future electrical engineers. This book explains the basic measurement techniques, instruments, and methods used in everyday practice. It covers in detail both analogue and digital instruments, measurements errors and uncertainty, instrument transformers, bridges, amplifiers, oscilloscopes, data acquisition, sensors, instrument controls and measurement systems. The reader will learn how to apply the most appropriate measurement method and instrument for a particular application, and how to assemble the measurement system from physical quantity to the digital data in a computer. The book is primarily intended to cover all necessary topics of instrumentation and measurement for students of electrical engineering, but can also serve as a reference for engineers and practitioners to expand or refresh their knowledge in this field. IX ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank Ivica Kunšt, dipl. ing for his suggestions and for designing most of the figures in this book. I also wish to thank my colleagues at the Faculty, as well as my colleagues from the TEMUS-158599 project "Creation of the Third Cycle of Studies -Doctoral Studies in Metrology" for their support. Special thanks go to my mother Marija, father Vladimir, and my brother Krešimir for their encouragement and assistance. And finally, thanks to my wife Božica and to my kids for their patience and support.

Measurement Systems, Application and Design, Revised Edition

Journal of Dynamic Systems, Measurement, and Control, 1976

This paperbound book by Otto Mayr describes all those genuine feedback control systems which were developed prior to the year 1800. The author is a mechanical engineer and a curator at the Smithsonian Institution. This English-language edition is a translation and slight revision of the original version which appeared in German in 1969. Systems or devices are judged to be genuine feedback control systems by application of this definition: Among automatic systems, in contrast to man-in-the-loop systems, those systems will be called feedback systems which
