Doebelin's Measurement Systems Application and Design, 5/e provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of measurement, instrumentation and experimentation; it is geared mainly for Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering students, though other majors can also utilize it. The 5/e features increased coverage of sensors and computer tools in measurement and experimentation. Measurement techniques related to micro- and nano-technologies are now discussed. The newest computer methods are covered, and Doebelin has added a significant commercial software connection for users of the book. Specific coverage of MATLAB, SIMULINK, and the lab simulation package DASYLAB is provided in the book, and free DASYLAB software is included on a CD ROM with each copy.
