Abstract
This paper is devoted to introducing measurement as a process aimed at producing knowledge by attributing values to properties of objects. Some subjects of the paper are: measurement as a bridge from the empirical world to the information world; the meaning of (and there-fore the information conveyed by) the key equation measurand = measured value; measurement scales and units; and the distinction between qualitative and quantitative properties.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Instrumentation & Measurement Magazine is a bimonthly publication. It publishes in February, April, June, August, October, and December of each year. The magazine covers a wide variety of topics in instrumentation, measurement, and systems that measure or instrument equipment or other systems. The magazine has the goal of providing readable introductions and overviews of technology in instrumentation and measurement to a wide engineering audience. It does this through articles, tutorials, columns, and departments. Its goal is to cross disciplines to encourage further research and development in instrumentation and measurement.
