Object-oriented approach to flow measurementss
Ivan Marić · 2001
The increasing complexity is a common characteristic of the contemporary industrial measurement systems. The measuring instrument is becoming a part of a global communication network capable of initiating and responding to remote orders. The partitioning of the measurement process into the components that can be realized as the separate objects facilitates the development of the measurement system. Using a client/server approach, the measurement system components become shareable and accessible across the network. The components can be deployed anywhere on the network and shared by a considerable number of applications. The paper describes a realization of the flow measurement system with distributed components, i.e. measurement procedures, which include the concurrent calculation of the measurement results and the corresponding uncertainties.
