Measurement of electrical quantities may be done to measure electrical parameters of a system. Using transducers , physical properties such as temperature, pressure, flow, force, and many others can be converted into electrical signals, which can then be conveniently measured and recorded.
Instrumentation and control engineering is a vital field of study offered at many universities worldwide at both the graduate and postgraduate levels. This discipline integrates principles from various branches of engineering, providing a comprehensive understanding of the design, analysis, and management of automated systems.
Instrumentation is a collective term for measuring instruments, used for indicating, measuring, and recording physical quantities.It is also a field of study about the art and science about making measurement instruments, involving the related areas of metrology, automation, and control theory.
Displays waveform of a signal, allows measurement of frequency, timing, peak excursion, offset, ... Psophometer: Measures AF signal level and noise Q meter: Measures Q factor of the RF circuits Tachometer: Measures speed of motors Signal analyzer: Measures both the amplitude and the modulation of a RF signal Signal generator
The following items are used for basic measurement of voltages, currents, and components in the circuit under test. Voltmeter (Measures voltage) Ohmmeter (Measures resistance) Ammeter, e.g. Galvanometer or Milliammeter (Measures current) Multimeter e.g., VOM (Volt-Ohm-Milliammeter) or DMM (Digital Multimeter) (Measures all of the above)
A measure of the efficiency of filling the space of a machine core or winding; the proportion of active material in any given unit cross section. standing wave ratio A measure of impedance mismatch for transmission lines in microwave engineering; the ratio of peak amplitude of a standing wave to its minimum. star-mesh transform
Four-point measurement of resistance between voltage sense connections 2 and 3. Current is supplied via force connections 1 and 4. In electrical engineering, four-terminal sensing (4T sensing), 4-wire sensing, or 4-point probes method is an electrical impedance measuring technique that uses separate pairs of current-carrying and voltage-sensing electrodes to make more accurate measurements ...
A multimeter (also known as a volt-ohm-milliammeter, volt-ohmmeter or VOM) [1] is a measuring instrument that can measure multiple electrical properties. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] A typical multimeter can measure voltage , resistance , and current , [ 4 ] in which case can be used as a voltmeter , ohmmeter , and ammeter .
