Test and measurement

The test and measurement industry focuses on the production of tools used to analyze, validate, and verify measurements of electronic and mechanical systems. Due to the increasing need for greater accuracy and higher-definition measurements, the tools involved in this industry are constantly evolving to accommodate technological advancements in the industries they cater to. The test and measurement industry creates both general-use and highly specialized tools that are predominantly intended for high-tech industrial, automotive, communications and medical-electronics industries.

Due to the increasing complexity of the measurements that are needed, the industry has recently begun a rapid trend towards software packages. These packages work with test and measurement devices to codify, validate, and organize the data that they gather. Software packages are most commonly provided to accompany the devices, which take the most complicated measurements and provide a large quantity of data that needs to be organized.
