Instrumentation

Instrumentation is like a scientific toolbox. It is a collection of different tools and technologies, such as sensors, computers, and measuring tools, which scientists and engineers use to measure things, study processes, and control systems. Instrumentation helps scientists and engineers to detect, measure, analyze, and control things like heat, pressure, sound, light, or electricity. It is used in a wide range of fields and applications, such as manufacturing, energy, healthcare, and aerospace. By using instrumentation, scientists and engineers can build things like robots and self-driving cars, build power plants, build better medical treatments, and much more.
