10. Mechanical Measurements and Calibration

Measurement constitutes a fundamental basis for all daily transactions, research, and development. Hence, it becomes necessary to measure different parameters and be able to compare them to theoretical values the system was designed for. The next interest is the very usefulness of parameters measurement in applications, for instance, control systems, power, and production plants where temperature, pressure, humidity, current, and so forth, are important. It goes without saying that health monitoring can only be done through measurements.
