instrumentaties
Instrumentation and instrumentations refer to the collection of devices and systems used to measure, monitor, and control physical variables in engineering, science, and industry. The field covers sensors and transducers that convert physical quantities into electrical signals, signal conditioning and data acquisition hardware, controllers and actuators, and interfaces for operators, such as human-machine interfaces (HMIs) and dashboards. Together these elements enable automated control, process supervision, safety interlocks, and data logging.
Key components include sensors and transducers; signal conditioning and amplification; actuators such as valves, pumps, and
