The second edition of the highly successful text is intended for use as an introductory course or a second course in instrumentation. The reviewers comments on the first edition helped refine and crystallise related material leading to the reorganisation of chapters and addition of:

• Software-controlled measurements
• Time interval measurement when the two events occur arbitrarily, and to indicate the order of occurrence, and a practical set up for the time interval measurement
• Multi-phase sequence indicator
• Decibel meter
• Input circuitry of a frequency counter
• Measurement of low-frequencies in a narrow band
• Basics of ac bridges
• Quality and dissipation factor measurement by phase compensation technique
• Impedance measurement in the Cartesian coordinate form
• Worked examples provided to illustrate the concepts
• Unsolved problems to help students develop skills in using theory
