Basics of measurement

The first - so far - handbook on the basics of metrology in a modern way and in line with development trends in the subject. The following chapters are devoted to: measurement quantities and signals, transducers and instruments, measurement procedures and error accounting, sensors, measurement networks, interfaces, measurement system software.
The manual is intended for students of faculties: electrical, electronics, automation and robotics.
