An Integrated Instrument in a measurement
system is a device designed specifically for collecting data from an environment
or from a unit in operation and to display information based on the collected
data. The instruments used in measurements are known as measurement system. The
general Measurement system follows a simple block diagram. A traditional
measurement system or traditional instrumentation system involves sensors or
transducers, signal conditioning elements, signal processing elements, display
devices. A sensor senses changes in a physical parameter such as temperature,
depth, pressure, level etc, and converted into electrical signal (voltage,
current, frequency etc.) through signal conditioning elements (such as
deflection bridges, amplifiers, current transmitters etc.) according to the
requirements of the user. Now these electrical signal are processed under signal
processing elements for further operations such as display or data storage.
