The development of foreign instrumentation industry presents four major characteristics

At present, the development of foreign instrument industry presents the following features:

Since the beginning of the 21st century, the development of foreign instrumentation industry has presented some new features, which has aroused the attention of the instrument industry in China.

First, universal application of new technologies

Electronic design automation (EDA), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), computer-aided testing (CAT), digital signal processing (DSP), application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), and surface mount technology (SMT) technologies are commonly used today.

Second, the product structure changes

While attaching importance to the development of high-end equipment, we attach great importance to the development and production of high-tech and large-scale products. Focus on system integration, focusing not only on stand-alone, but also on system and product softening. With various types of instruments equipped with CPUs and digitization, the software has invested huge human and financial resources. The future instruments are summarized into a simple formula: Instrument = AD/DA + CPU + software, AD chip will change the analog signal into a digital signal, and then use software to process the change and then use the DA output.

Third, the product development criteria have changed

From technology-driven to market-driven, from the blind pursuit of high-precision turned right. The criteria for developing a successful product are: users have clear requirements; can use the shortest development time to market; function and performance should be just right; another change in product development guidelines is to shrink direction and focus on advantages.

Fourth, focus on professional production is no longer a big one

The production process uses an automatic test system. At present, many GP-IB instruments are used to set up an automatic test system and a large test cabinet is used in the production line to perform automatic test, statistics, analysis, and printout of results.
