Instrumentation Design Studies

---

All my earlier books (Dynamic Analysis and Feedback Control [1962]; Measurement
Systems, fi ve editions [1966–2004]; System Dynamics [1972]; System Modeling
and Response [1980]; Control System Principles and Design [1985]; Engineering
Experimentation [1995]; and System Dynamics: Modeling, Analysis, Simulation,
Design [1998]) were designed as engineering textbooks to be used as aids in
teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in the areas of system dynamics,
measurement, and control. They were thus organized to progress in a
carefully designed sequence of chapters, which led the student from simple
basic concepts toward progressively more comprehensive and practical views
of the fi eld under study. As is usual in textbooks, each chapter included homework
problems designed to stimulate students’ personal understanding of
important concepts. While these books were originally intended for teaching
purposes in engineering schools, their judicious blending of useful theory
with practical hardware and design considerations made them appealing
also to engineering practitioners who wanted to update their education in
specifi c areas.

This book is still devoted to the same general areas (system dynamics,
measurement, and control) but departs from the textbook format to address
the needs of practicing engineers working in those fi elds, which are sometimes
collected under the heading “instrumentation.” As is common with
this type of book, homework problems are not included. While all the chapters
certainly have a common interest in the overall fi eld, each is largely selfcontained
in addressing an important subarea of the subject. As such, they
are readily accessible to readers with a specifi c interest in improving their
expertise in the chosen topic. While the book is not designed for a specifi c
academic course, it could be profi tably used as additional enrichment reading
for any number of specifi c courses, or possibly for a single seminar-type
experience.

This new book is largely based on a series of homework projects that I developed
over many years for an advanced measurement course/lab populated
by a mix of engineering seniors and graduate students. This experience was
valuable in showing me the best ways to present the material, which was
continuously revised over the years. The homework project manual included
extensive notes that led the student through the particular topic and required
certain calculations and explanations at each of the steps in the development.
In adapting this manual to the needs of this book, I replaced the homework
sections with a complete presentation and explanation of the solutions
required of the students. I also adapted the format to meet the needs of the
new audience, and augmented the technical material with any new developments
that I was familiar with. I hope this book will be a useful and interesting
learning tool for engineers in the instrumentation fi eld.
