Abstract
Within the various topics covered in this book, a number of corn pound words and expressions appear utilizing the word “instrumentation,” such as “Instrumentation System,” “Instrumentation Engineer” and “Instrumentation Technology.” Although the usage here is purely technical, it’s interesting to note that dictionaries also define “instrumentation” as a musical term meaning the “composition of musical instruments in an orchestra,” or in other words, the technique of selecting an appropriate musical instrument makeup for an orchestra so as to achieve optimum results for performing a particular piece of music.
