MEASUREMENT PLUS OBSERVATION - A MODERN STRUCTURE OF METROLOGY

Karl H. Ruhm
Abstract:
Diverse fields of Metrology reveal manifold perceptions concerning the meaning of the classical procedure «measurement» and of the trendy procedure «observation». No common consensus has become visible so far. The following systematic investigations of metrological tasks and structures develop and propose a self-evident definition of both procedures and the resulting analytical relationship. This is feasible by modelling and visualising dynamic subsystems by means of Signal and System Theory. In particular, one can consistently demonstrate and justify the complementary tasks of measurement and observation. Thus, we gain an extended and modern version of basic metrological structures.
