4. Instrumentation System
A Measuring system is required to compare a quantity with a standard or to provide an output that can be related to the quantity being measured
The quantity to be measured is detected by an input transducer or sensor.
The detected quantity may be converted to a mechanical or electrical form of energy

Measured biomaterials
The neuron (nerve cell) is the fundamental unit of the nervous system. The basic purpose of a neuron is to receive incoming information and, based upon that information, send a signal to other neurons, muscles, or glands. Neurons are designed to rapidly send signals across physiologically long distances. They do this using electrical signals called nerve impulses or action potentials .

Receptor
Receptor is a protein-molecule that receives chemical-signals from outside a cell. When such chemical-signals bind to a receptor, they cause some form of cellular/tissue-response

14. 1.1 - RANGE Significant factors in measurements
The range of an instrument is generally considered to include all the levels of input amplitude & frequency over which the device is expected to operate.
The objective is to provide an instrument that will give a usable reading from the smallest expected value of the variable or parameter being measured to the largest.

15. 1.2 – SENSITIVITY Significant factors in measurements
The sensitivity of an instrument determines how small a variation of a variable or parameter can be really reliably measured.
Significant factors in measurements

16. 1.3 – LINEARITY Significant factors in measurements
The degree to which variations in the output of an instrument follow input variations is referred to as the linearity of the device.
Significant factors in measurements

17. 1.4 – HYSTERESIS Significant factors in measurements
It is a characteristic of some instruments where by a given value of the measured variable results in a different reading when reached in an ascending direction from that obtained when it is reached in a descending direction .

18. 1.5 - FREQUENCY RESPONSE
The frequency response of an instrument in its variation in sensitivity over the frequency range of the measurement. It is important to display a wave shape that is a faithful reproduction of the original physiological signal.

1.6 – ACCURACY
It is a measure of systemic error. Errors can occur in a multitude of ways. Although not always present simultaneously, the following errors should be considered.
1. Errors due to tolerances of electronic components.
2. Mechanical errors in meter movements.
3. Component errors due to drift or temperature variations.
4. Errors due to poor frequency response.
5. Errors due to change in atmospheric pressure or temperature.
Reading errors due to parallel inadequate illuminations or excessively wide ink traces on a pen recording.
Two additional sources of Errors are
Correct instrument zeroing or making correct baseline.
The effect of the instrument on the parameter to be measured & vice versa. ( Specially in measurements in living organism )

20. 1.7 - SIGNAL TO NOICE RATIO
It is important that the signal to – noise ratio be high as possible.
Significant factors in measurements

21. 1.8 – STABILITY Significant factors in measurements
In control engineering, Stability is the ability of a system to resume a steady state conditions following a disturbance at the input rather than be driven into uncontrollable oscillation.
Significant factors in measurements

22. Significant factors in measurements 1.9 - ISOLATION
Electrical Isolation is to be made for avoiding interference between different instruments used simultaneously. It can be achieved by using magnetic or optional coupling technique or using radio tetermetry.
Telemetry is also used where movement of the person or animal to be measured.

23. 1.10 – SIMPLICITY
All systems & instruments should be as simple as possible to eliminate the chance of component or human error.

24. BASIC OBJECTIVES OF THE
INSTRUMENTATION
1. Information Gathering
2. Diagnosis
3. Evaluation
4. Monitoring
5. Control

25. Bio – Medical instrumentation can generally be classified into two major types :
1. Clinical Instrumentation .
2.Research Instrumentation.
