Physical Data Acquisition for Digital Processing: Components, Parameters, and Specifications

Providing a working knowledge of the interfacing requirements of importance when connecting the analog and digital domains, this volume emphasizes that an initial system definition should involve skills from both analog and digital areas whenever physical variables are to be processed digitally. The coverage begins with the transducer and continues through the transmission lines, amplifiers, finters, digital to analog and analog to digital converters, and sample/hold circuits required in an acquisition system. Appropriate as a working reference for Electrical Engineers, Industrial Engineers, and Quality Control Engineers.
