An Instrument bridge is an extension of the network bridge concept from the IEEE networking technology glossary. The term instrument bridge highlights the logical separation of scientific instruments from administrative computers e.g. email servers on the computer network of a science intensive organization. Instrument Bridge Motivation Modern research instrumentation are often equipped with desktop class computers to perform data acquisition and control. For some instruments, these tasks occupy the majority of the capacity of the controlling computer. When instrument control computers are connected to the computer network of an organization, network security, operating system patch management and other concerns can interfere with the operation of the instrument during critical measurements. Most research organizations implement policies of virus scanning and automatic patching which require significant resources on the control computer or require it to be automatically rebooted. Lost productivity or lost samples during patching, scanning or rebooting has motivated the separation of laboratory computers from enterprise computers, but at the cost of loss of access to enterprise resources such as storage and poor integration for data . br br Image Inst Bridge.png br br The concept of an instrument bridge can be implemented using various technologies, but suggests a separation between enterprise activities and laboratory activities. Key concepts of instrument bridges include The ability to communicate in the instrument protocol or connect to the instrument control system The ability to act as a firewall for network activity protect the instrument computer The ability to assess acquisition status to control data movement to enterprise systems such as storage Possibly the ability to map instrument specific data or status information into other representations or formats Category Networking hardware Bridge ... more details

Refimprove date December 2009 Instrument error refers to the combined accuracy and precision of a measuring instrument , or the difference between the actual value and the value indicated by the instrument error . Measuring instruments are usually calibration calibrated on some regular frequency against a frequency standard standard . The most rigorous standard is one maintained by a standards organization such as NIST in the United States , or the International Organization for Standardization ISO in Europe an countries. However, in physics precision, accuracy, and error are computed based upon the instrument and the measurement data. Precision is to 1 2 of the granularity of the instrument s measurement capability. Precision is limited to the number of significant digits of measuring capability of the coarsest instrument or constant in a sequence of measurements and computations. Error is the granularity of the instrument s measurement capability. Error magnitudes are also added together when making multiple measurements for calculating a certain quantity. When making a calculation from a measurement to a specific number of significant digits, rounding if needed must be done properly. Accuracy might be determined by making multiple measurements of the same thing with the same instrument, and then calculating the result with a certain type of math function, or it might mean for example, a five pound weight could be measured on a scale and then the difference between five pounds ..., while the first definition does not.

Designing with Light . McGraw Hill New York, NY 2008. p 223. ref The instruments are organized by their position on stage, and is the distinguishing characteristic between an instrument schedule and a channel hookup or similar paperwork. The instrument schedule includes all information about every instrument, including hanging location, instrument number, type, wattage, color, focus area, circuit, dimmer and templates, along with any additional information. The variety of information included in an instrument schedule generally makes this more complete than other generated paperwork, and as such the schedule is often considered the master sheet. The master electrician uses the information contained in the instrument schedule along with the light plot to direct the hanging of the instruments. TOC Conventions Typically the instrument schedule is organized first by hanging location. Common hanging locations or lighting positions in theater include electrics, apron pipes, front of house positions, booms and ladders.
