This time- and course-tested book has proven effective in teaching readers about electricity and electronics in industrial measurement and control. It is designed to be student-centered, focusing on practical applications. Even when covering mathematical and algebraic concepts, the explanations are clear and easy to comprehend without relying on complex operations or mathematics. However, a basic understanding of mathematics is necessary to fully comprehend and apply the content.

Safety is a top priority, and the book provides careful guidance for safely and successfully measuring electrical quantities. It also thoroughly explains the applications for and how to use digital and analog meters, bridges, power supplies, solid-state circuitry, oscilloscopes, and analog-to-digital converters.

In addition to expanding the topics covered in the previous edition, the fourth edition comes with a lab workbook that further aids readers in absorbing the material by including exercises that simulate real-applications in vocational, industrial, and occupational areas. Together, the textbook and workbook will enhance student success in any basic technician training course.

Operational amplifiers, op-amps for short, are utilized in many areas of electronics, such as filters, amplifiers, analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters, and in any circuit (below ultra high frequencies) that requires gain and/or isolation. Op-amps have been the basic building block of control circuits, and even though they are embedded in application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) or in stand-alone form on rare occasion, they play an important role in automation and instrumentation.

Modern electronic industrial devices are generally digital as features through software can make a more efficient and scalable networked device useful in many different environments. While the majority of systems communicate in digital format, the measurements that must be made in industry operate in a continuous or analog world. For the digital device to communicate and control, analog-to-digital (A/D) and digital-to-analog (D/A) conversions are required. There are different methods for performing either type of conversion; this module will outline some of the more prevalent techniques.
