Instrumentation

Physical Sciences

Instrumentation is a collective term for measuring instruments, used for indicating, measuring and recording physical quantities, and it is also a field of study about the art and science of making measurement instruments, involving the related areas of metrology, automation and control theory. The cited article says the term has its origins in the art and science of scientific instrument-making, and that instrumentation can refer to devices as simple as direct-reading thermometers or as complex as multi-sensor components of industrial control systems. Instruments recorded in the atlas as measurement or metrology instruments are grouped under this concept.

Instrument Class Includes

Entity-backed identity for the instrument-class enum value this instrument already carries, resolved to a science concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The instrument-class fact itself stays on the instrument unchanged.
