Items related to Sensors and Transducers: A Guide for Technicians
Synopsis
The steady spread of electronic circuits into all aspects of life, but particularly into control technology, has greatly increased the importance of sensors which can detect, as electrical signals, changes in various physical quantities. The range of possible sensors and transducers is now very large, but most textbooks tend to deal with only a few types for specific purposes. In this book Ian Sinclair has described a large range of devices, some for industrial, some for domestic use, some for use only in research laboratories. To make the book useful to as many readers as possible, the physical principles of each device are explained in as much depth as is needed, and the use of mathematics has been avoided unless it is absolutely essential to the understanding of a device. This enlarged new edition includes a new chapter on instrumentation techniques, and new material on A-D and D-A conversion (the latest bitstream techniques), domestic smoke detectors, non-destructive testing of wold integrity and environmental testing.

Review
"There is a vast amount of information contained in the book, very well presented and explained, and with many diagrams and tables to help your understanding. It more than adequately meets its specified goal of proving useful to anyone who encounters sensors and transducers, whether from the point of view of specification, design, servicing or education." --Electronics Australia
"...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." --Electronic Servicing and Technology
From the Publisher
The devices covered encompass heat, light and motion, environmental sensing, sensing in industrial control, and signal-carrying and non-signal switches.
