INSTRUMENTATION Measurement of quantities
Refers to instruments ranging from basic test instruments to complex scientific
instruments
I. INSTRUMENTS and MEASUREMENTS
1. Instruments
Devices that can give quantitative description on a given parameters Provides a visual indication of the quantity being measured, the instruments
sometimes furnishes a permanent record Basic Functions:
a. indicatingb. recordingc. controlling for industrial process situationsd. monitoring remote signals
. E!ectrica! Units
as with any quantitative science, a system of units is required before one can
make a quantitative evaluation of parameters measured Fundamenta! "uantitiesa. ength !meter"b. Mass! kilogram"c. #ime !second"d. uminous intensity !candela"e. #emperature !degree $elvin"f. %lectric current !ampere"
#. Measurement Standards
