The author describes the progression of raw signals through conditioning stages, digitization, data storage and presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe collection, processing, and understanding of sensor data plays a central role in industrial and scientific activities. This book builds simplified models of large industrial or scientific installations that contain hardware and other building blocks, including services for databases, web servers, control systems, and messaging brokers. A range of case studies are included within the book, including a weather station, ground-vibration measurements, impedance measurements, interfacing medical sensors to web browsers, the profile of a laser beam, and a remote-controlled and fire-seeking robot.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis second edition has been updated throughout to reflect new hardware and software releases since the book was first published. Newly added features include the ESP32 microcontroller, several environmental and medical sensors, actuators for signal generation, as well as a chapter on web sockets; all illustrated in new case studies. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students taking hands-on laboratory courses in physics and engineering. Hobbyists in robotics clubs and other enthusiasts will also find this book of interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatures: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes practical, hands-on exercises that can be conducted in student labs, or even at home \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers the latest software and hardware, and all code featured in examples is discussed in detail\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll steps are illustrated with practical examples and case studies to enhance learning\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003ehttps: \/\/github.com\/volkziem\/HandsOnSensors2ed\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eVolker Ziemann obtained his PhD in accelerator physics from Dortmund University in 1990. After post-doctoral positions in Stanford at SLAC and in Geneva at CERN, where he worked on the design of the LHC, in 1995 he moved to Uppsala where he worked at the electron-cooler storage ring CELSIUS. In 2005 he moved to the physics department where he has since taught physics. He was responsible for several accelerator physics projects at CERN, DESY and XFEL. In 2014 he received the Thur騏s prize from the Royal Society of Sciences in Uppsala.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Volker Ziemann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032376198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032376196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/04\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.65d","brand":"Volker Ziemann","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44567065592063,"sku":"9781032376196","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6ab81edc-366c-4975-8633-b0c4531ba768.jpg?v=1701375871","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-hands-on-course-in-sensors-volker-ziemann-9781032376196","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
