This book describes the types and properties of computer controlled industrial and laboratory measuring systems for data acquisition and processing signals of typical physical sensors. An overview of the properties of these sensors used in laboratory and industrial environments is provided. The chapters describe the properties of computers used in measurement systems, including plug-in cards and the IEEE-488 protocol. The following chapters describe the types and properties of distributed and modular measuring systems and systems using data networks, including wireless measuring systems. The final chapters describe methods of digitization, reconstruction and signal processing in measurement systems in time and frequency domains.

The book is intended for users and designers of digital measuring systems, working in laboratory and industry, scientific and research workplaces and students of university relevant technical focus and was created on the basis of the author's many years of activity in the field of development and use of measuring systems in laboratory and industrial environments.
