Book is appropriate as a primary text for courses in instrumentation and may also be used as a parallel reader in lab courses in instrumentation. Secondarily, it is also appropriate for courses in which the study of electronics instruments or measurement is integral.

The text provides a readable introduction to ordinary workshop and laboratory instrumentation. Material is presented through a careful blend of theory and practice to provide a practical text for students who will soon be in the real world, working with electronics.
