Preface by Editors:
The overall aim of this book is to present transducer devices, computer interfacing and instrumentation electronics in a succinct and memorable fashion. The book combines physics, computer science and electrical engineering in a science/engineering context. Starting from the transfer of physical phenomena to electrical signals, the book presents a comprehensive treatment of computer interfacing and finishes with signal conditioning, data analysis and digital filtering. The book covers a wide scope but contains sufficient detail to allow a practical application of the theory. Detailed explanations are given, even of the most difficult of concepts. The review problems offer a level of complexity which provides sufficient challenge to impart a sense of achievement upon their completion. The accompanying project work reinforces the theoretical work while allowing the reader to gain the satisfaction and experience of actually constructing a working interfacing circuit that can be used on any personal computer with a serial port. The book will be useful for students who are new to the subject, and will serve as a handy reference for experienced engineers who wish to refresh their knowledge of a particular topic.
In writing this book, I was assisted and encouraged by many colleagues. In particular, I acknowledge the contributions of Alec Bendeli, Stephen Buck, Bob Graves, Walter Kalceff, Les Kirkup, Geoff Smith, Paul Walker, my colleagues at the University of Technology, Sydney, the staff of the CSIRO Division of Telecommunications and Industrial Physics, and all my former students. My sincere thanks to my wife and family for their unending encouragement and support. Finally, I thank Matthew Deans, Jodi Burton and the editorial and production teams at Newnes for their very professional and helpful approach to the whole publication process.
