NEW APPROACH TO OPTIMIZATION OF INSTRUMENTS FOR MEASURING COMPOSITIONAND PROPERTIES OF MATERIALS

We describe a new approach to optimization of instruments for measurin g composition and properties of materials. A distinguishing feature of the approach is heuristic synthesis of the measurement principle and method, done on the basis of: systemic analysis of instrumental contro l and optimization problems, the specified values of the principle com ponents of the total error, models of the object of control and its in formative and influential parameters, models for process and parameter control, its data bank for measurement principles and methods and the mechanisms by which various errors arise.
