The most comprehensive and up-to-date reference work coveringthe scientific fundamentals and practical considerations fordesigning, developing and implementing measuring systems in a broadrange of engineering and technological fields. Measuring systems lie at the heart of all science, engineeringand technology, and are used to quantify physical phenomena such astemperature, pressure, voltage and current. Rapid advances incomputing and electronics have enabled the development of highlysophisticated measuring systems that can be utilised across manyindustrial fields. The Handbook of Measuring System Design provides anauthoritative and comprehensive reference that addresses a widerange of measurement-specific design and application problems inthe fields of engineering and technology. Building on athorough treatment of foundational topics the Handbook presents amodern, 'systems thinking' approach and covers manyareas that have received little attention elsewhere (systems,safety, design, legal and artificial intelligence).
