Mittausvälineelle

Mittausvälineelle is the allative form of mittausväline in Finnish grammar. Mittausväline means a measuring instrument or device used to perform measurements. The allative suffix -lle marks direction toward or for the recipient of an action, so mittausvälineelle can be understood as "to the measuring instrument" or "for the measuring instrument" in a sentence.

In practice, mittausvälineelle is used in technical and instructional contexts to indicate that an action is directed at the instrument. This can occur in procedures such as calibration, installation, adjustment, or testing. Examples include phrases like "Kalibrointi suoritettiin mittausvälineelle annettujen ohjeiden mukaan" (Calibration was performed according to the instructions given for the measuring instrument) and "Asennus on tehty mittausvälineelle suunnitellun kiinnitysjärjestelmän mukaan" (Installation was performed according to the mounting system designed for the measuring instrument).

The concept is primarily grammatical and functional rather than lexical; mittausvälineelle appears when the instrument is the beneficiary or target of the described action. In everyday usage, speakers more often refer to the instrument itself (mittausväline) or to the specific device by its name. The form is commonly encountered in manuals, quality-control documents, and technical writings where precise directions toward a device are needed.
