Sensors and transducers [electronic resource] / Ian R. Sinclair. 3rd ed. Oxford [England] ; Boston : Newnes, 2001. 1 online resource (xiv, 306 p.) : ill. In this book Ian Sinclair provides the practical knowhow required by technician engineers, systems designers and students. The focus is firmly on understanding the technologies and their different applications, not a mathematical approach. The result is a highly readable text which provides a unique introduction to the selection and application of sensors, transducers and switches, and a grounding in the practicalities of designing with these devices. The devices covered encompass heat, light and motion, environmental sensing, sensing in industrial control, and signal-carrying and non-signal switches. Get up to speed in this key topic through this leading practical guide Understand the range of technologies and applications before specifying Gain a working knowledge with a minimum of maths.
