MEASUREMENT
determination of ratio, extent, dimension or capacity, usually in relation to some standard or unit of measurement.
Comparison To a Standard
In general, a metric is a scale of measurement
indicating a measurement without supplying an applicable standard. It could mean I am 5 years old or I am 5 feet high.
Units of Measure
What is a unit of measure? Act of measuring involves comparing the
magnitude of a quantity possessed by an object with a standard unit by using an instrument under controlled conditions. include:
Units of Measure
System of Units
Sensing Element
In contact with the information carrier and medium Giving the signal output in related to the quantity
being measured
For Example: Strain gauge: R depends on mechanical strain Thermocouple: V depends on temperature
Mostly use various conditioning circuits For Example: Deflection bridge: Converts a resistance change in to Voltage change o Amplifier: Amplifies millivolts to Volts
form
Use of Analogue to Digital form For Example: Visual display unit, oscilloscope Digital screen
Calibration
The relationship between the physical measurement
number of known physical inputs and recording the response of the system.
