Instrumentation products widely used in enterprises,scientific research production and other areas,in the education field is mainly used in the school laboratory construction and teaching.In the strong market demand helped drive and national macroeconomic regulation and control policy guidance,our country's instrumentation industry present a rapid and healthy development situation.According to some world  big instrument enterprise's movement,it is found that digital,intelligent,networking equipment product will become the mainstream market.In addition to improve the product in future,engineering and project integration technology,software development, application and maintenance services will be the new growth point of industry.

The appearance of digital technology add the simulation of the measurement instrument control precision,sensitivity,speed and reliability to several magnitude,to realize automation control measure laid a good foundation.Computer introduce,make the function of the instrument happened a qualitative change,from individual parameter measurement into measurement of the whole system characteristic parameters,from the pure receiving,display into control,analysis,processing,calculation and shows that the output from a single instrument,with measured into use measuring system measurements.In the 90 s,measurement control and instrumentation science and technology breakthrough progress is intelligent instrument extent;a large number of DSP chip coming out,make the instruments of digital signal processing functions strengthened;The development make instruments has stronger data processing and image processing function;The fieldbus technology is developing rapidly in the nineties for various site automation equipment and its control system's network communication technology,the Internet and Intranet technology will also go into control field.Modern instrumentation products will develops toward digital,network,intelligence,integration's direction ,the integrated design,advanced interdisciplinary manufacturing technology enable it to become more high speed,more sensitive,more reliable and more direct access to be analysis, testing and control of all-round information object.

Specific for measuring control and instrumentation international development trend,can be summed up in this following main features:

Technology index continuously improve as the Olympic slogan of higher,stronger,faster,and the measurement of the same control and instrumentation.In improving the measurement control technology index and function is forever in the pursuit,measurement control and instrumentation technical index level is a level quantification sign about national measurement control and instrumentation.To enlarge the detection range,such as voltage for index fell to 1 million,From 1014 to Ω superconducting resistance.In order to improve the measurement precision index speaking,industrial parameter measurement is raised from 0.02% to above,aerospace parameter measurement achieve 0.05% above,measuring accuracy and precision of the scientific instrument to keep pace with The Times.In order to improve the sensitivity of measurement is to single particle, molecular,and material development.Improve the measurement speed (response speed), static 0.1 ~ 0.02 ms, dynamic for 1 us.To improve reliability,general requirements for 2 ~ 50000 hours,high reliability requirements 250000 hours.Stability(years)< plus or minus 0.05%(change precision instrument)or "plus or minus 0.1%(general instrument).Improve the product environmental adaptability,according to different users of requirements,high temperature and high humidity,high dust, corrosion,vibration,impact,electromagnetic field,radiation and deep water,rain,high voltage,depression and the adaptability of the condition.

Adopt a large number of new scientific research and high-tech measurement control and instrumentation as human beings to know the world,the first hand tools to transform the world,is the basic tools that human scientific research and engineering technology development.Humans have know "work to do a good job,you will have to have the benefit its device" the truth for a long time,new scientific research results and found,such as information theory,control theory,system engineering theory,the micro and macro world research results and a large number of new and high technologies such as weak signal extraction technology,computer software and hardware technology,network technology,laser technology,superconducting technology,nanotechnology are become a important power to measuring instrument and control of the science and technology development.Instruments not only itself has become a high technology of the new products,and using new principle,new concepts,new technology,new material and new process the latest technology integrated achievements of the device and system are endless.

Measuring unit micro miniaturization,intelligent measurement and control instruments used in great quantities in the new sensor, massive and very large scale integrated circuit,computer and expert system information technology products,and constantly to micro miniaturization,intelligent development,from the emerging"chip instrument","in a lab ona"chip","chipsystems"apperance,miniaturization and intelligent measuring units embedded links and networking application technology to get attention.

Measurement and control scope to expand,the measurement of three-dimensional,globalization control to systematic,network development as instruments of the measurement and control area have been established to three-dimensional,globalization and even the planet, instrumentation and measurement device is no longer a single unit form,it must be measurement device systematic,network development direction.For example a large hydropower station,the measurement and control system of the dam safety,the detection sensor is more than thousands.In addition,reached each generator state and the water level detection points (I/O control point) will be more than points,to reach a large hydropower station,the normal power generation and transmission must be all measurement and control point measurement device form an organic and control the network system.And such as satellite measurement and control system,the configuration of the rocket on various sensors and satellites,to reach thousands of various measurement device on form a complete automatic measurement and control system,and then multi-ground stations and the measurement and control system consists of a wide-area measurement and control system.

Portable,personalized instruments and a handheld development with the development of production and the improvement of people's living standard.People concerned about their quality of life and health,people pay more and more attention to all kinds of commodities in their life ,food quality instrumentation,prevention and treatment of diseases of all sorts of medical instrument is the one of the important trend.The field of scientific instruments,real-time online,especially the family and personal use of health and disease warning instruments will be greatly developed.

Domestic instrument technology application situation and the latest development is relatively slow speed.At present,our country instruments industry status with a complete range,have a certain industries foundation in developing countries,and belongs to "upstream",but has a disparity between the developed and the developing countries.By system,mechanism,economic and technological sophistication,management and talented people restrictions,enterprise "more,scattered,weak",scientific development capability is not strong,the product's stability,reliability have difference,the market appear high middle-grade products to foreign import primarily, and cheap product give priority to the situation of Chinese enterprises,but also owning to the size of the market,the human cost,the comparative advantage about company's foundation,some amount is large,universal products will be the main production and export.

Domestic instruments industry's technical level is still low,development ability is weak.The product's reliability and stability's problem still prominent,users's reflect is strong.Major project decrease(from eighty's 80% to 50% now);The high grade product mainly occupy by foreign products,especially a large of occupation precision instrument,the core project control system and technology basically rely on import;Intermediate products faces strong impact;After the accession to the WTO,the situation has become more severe.In the industry overall structure,specialized in the development of the industry's foundation,prospective,strategic and major special research strength and scattered weak.Because of industry technology foundation is weak,the independent innovation ability is bad,with independent intellectual property rights of the main products and technologies(hardware and software),most important product's development technology and high technology products are mostly rely on import.The international had popularity of the CAD, CAT,CAM,machine tools and machining center,surface mount and flexible processing technology in the industry has not large area used. Suitable for instruments of production characteristics,master a few key process technology;Production organization,technology, management and personnel recruitment system,and other aspects of the management and serious not adapt to industry characteristics .

And mostly the current domestic enterprises have a heavy burden,high debt management,their Self-raised ability is to low,investment and financing channel is not unobstructed,which makes the whole research and development and the transformation's rate is too low,most of the enterprise research and development investment accounts for less than 2% of the sales income,only a few enterprise reached 5%,this phenomenon against the enterprise technology progress.
