The primary focus of the subject “Electronic Measurements and Instrumentation” is to develop understanding of various instruments used for measuring, monitoring and recording physical phenomena. The scope of this subject is vast and appears to be growing due to increased use of sensors and automatic control in manufacturing and process control applications. However, the measurement of temperature, pressure, level and flow is common among most of the engineering industries including petrochemical, power plants, Integrated circuit manufacturing and aircraft engines industry.
The “Electronic Instrumentation and Measurements” curriculum in most of the Indian Universities and abroad include topics ranging from Units, Measurements and Standards, Measurement Errors, Transducers for Electrical and Non-electrical quantities, Measurements using Electrical and Electronic Instruments, Measurement of Resistance, Inductance and Capacitance, Oscilloscopes, Signal Generators and Analysers, Instrument Calibration, Graphic Recording Instruments, Display Devices, Signal conditioning, Data Acquisition Systems, Telemetry, Biomedical Instruments and Virtual Instruments.
