Electronic Instrumentation and Measurement: Muhammad Amin Qureshi

This document provides an introduction to a course on electronic instrumentation and measurement. It discusses key concepts like measurement, instruments, and instrumentation engineering. The course will cover measuring physical and electrical variables, designing measurement projects, and analog and digital instruments. A typical measurement system is outlined, including sensors to convert information to electrical signals, signal conditioning circuitry, data processing, and display, transmission or storage of data. Different types of physical variables that can be measured are also listed. The goals of measurement instruments are outlined as being precise, accurate, sensitive, having fine resolution, and minimizing errors.

Instrumentation and Measurement


Measurement: Magnitude + Unit
Instrument: A device for measuring something
Specifically the variables around us or we are
concerned about

Instrumentation: The engineering process and


knowledge of making such devices

We live in an ANALOG world


We process in digital terms
We display on digital devices..
We transmit using digital schemes
We store in digital space

Sensor
Something that converts a piece of
information from one type of energy to
another type electrical energy in most cases.
Why convert?
To digitally process and store/display/transmit

Energies?
Physical (or any other) variables actually
Which we are concerned about

Mechanical
Thermal
Chemical
Magnetic
Radiations

About Instruments
They have to be very:
Precise
Accurate
Sensitive
Resolute > Have fine resolution
Less erroneous > Low or no error
