Measurement, Instrumentation and
Sensors
Course
Objectives
∙ To learn about applications and some basic terminologies
of measurement systems and instrumentation

∙ To introduce you to some examples of each of the


functional elements of a generalized measurement
system (working principles and some other important
aspects will be covered)

∙ To introduce the students to the basics of causes of signal


impairment in a measurement device and their
mitigation
Text and Other Study
TEXT: Materials

Some materials will be handed in to the class in the form of handouts.


What is
M&I?
Measurement: Result of comparison between a quantity (of
unknown magnitude) and a predefined standard

Instrument: A device for determining the magnitude of a


quantity or variable

Instrumentation: The process of devising a measurement or


making an instrument
Applications of Measurement
Systems
Applications are generally classified into three major classes:
1. Monitoring of processes and operations
2. Control of processes and operations
3. Experimental engineering analysis

4. Monitoring of processes and operations


- measuring instrument is used to keep track of some quantity.
- e.g. thermometer, barometer, radar used by weather
department
- e.g. water, gas, electric meters in home
2. Control of processes and
operations
-The most important class of measurement applications
(automatic control systems)
- Feedback control system:

Output
Input Error
signal
Amplifier Actuator
(Desired (Controlled
output) quantity)

Measuring
instruments
3. Experimental engineering analysis

- Part of engineering design, development and research.


- Two basic ways of solving engineering problems:
Theory
and Experimentation.

- Most problems require blend of theory and experiment


For example,
• Experimental validation of
theoretical prediction/simulation.
• Formulation of empirical equations.
