Electronic Test Instruments: Analog and Digital Measurements, Second Editionoffers a thorough, unified, up-to-date survey of electronics instrumentation, digital and analog. Start with basic measurement theory, then master all mainstream forms of electronic test equipment through real-world application examples. This new edition is now fully updated for the latest technologies, with extensive new coverage of digital oscilloscopes, power supplies, and more.

The purpose of this new work is twofold: first, to enable the user to move from understanding basic electronics to understanding how electric theory relates to practical electronic measurements, and second, to give the user knowledge of what instruments are available, their advantages and disadvantages, and how to choose the right class of instrument for a particular job. It provides a breadth of coverage not readily found elsewhere, including functional descriptions of voltmeters, ammeters, ohmmeters, signal sources, oscilloscopes, frequency counters, circuits for electronic measurements, frequency domain instruments, and logic analyzers. This volume will be of practical use to electrical engineers and technicians who understand basic electronics and want to learn more about electronic measurements.

Contains information on how to build several pragmatic testing devices. Designed to be highly practical and space conscious, this book uses only commonly available components. Numerous construction tips are included, as pesky anomalies crop up in every project.
