Lecture 01

This document contains lecture slides for an Instrumentation and Measurement course. It introduces the course information, including grading breakdown. It then defines measurement and instrumentation, and discusses their applications in monitoring, control, and analysis. Examples like vehicle instrument panels, ECGs, cement plants, ABS systems, and climate prediction are provided. The key components of a measurement system like transducers, signal conditioning, and data transmission are outlined. Finally, different types of instruments are described based on their characteristics, including active vs passive instruments, null-type vs deflection-type, and static vs dynamic characteristics.
