Abstract

This chapter reviews the essential steps in the design and decision process. The design process is decomposed into a number of basic steps, with feedback loops and iteration sequences. Most of these studies distinguish three major levels—task definition, concept generation, and evaluation. Any design should start with a description of the requirements the system should finally be able to meet. Important specifications of a measurement system concern information handling performance; technical performance; environmental conditions; and economically related aspects. The design of a measurement system is not a trivial task. Even for the measurement of a single parameter, a variety of measurement principles is available, and for each principle many sensor types, measurement configurations and different ways of signal processing and data handling are available. This leads to an almost infinite number of possible measurement systems for each measurand.
