mådetilstande
Mådetilstande is a Danish term used in metrology, instrumentation and related fields to describe the discrete operating configurations or modes of a measuring device or system. The concept refers to the specific conditions under which measurements are taken, stored or processed, and it is often used in documentation, software models and control logic. In practice, mådetilstande help define how a device behaves in different situations and how transitions between states occur.
Typically, a mådetilstand includes a defined set of attributes such as the active measurement mode (for example
Common examples include a digital multimeter with modes like measurement, hold, and auto-range; or a data logger
