The instrumentation industry under the rapid development is different from the past. Chivalrous instruments are: equipment used to measure, observe, and measure various physical quantities, physical components and physical parameters. Including some pressure gauges, microscopes, leak detectors, etc. In a broad sense, instruments and meters cover a series of equipment with capabilities such as automatic control, alarm systems, signal transmission, and data processing.

Since entering the information age, science and technology have developed rapidly. The roles of measurement, computer and communication technology are very important. "Qian Xuesen" once said that measurement technology is the basis of these three. Nowadays, mobile phones, computers, tablets, etc. can be seen everywhere, and the emergence of wireless networks, etc., has led to the rapid development of information technology. Now that information has been widely covered, it plays a pivotal role in economic development. In the information industry, computers and other hardware equipment are indispensable, so measurement technology is the foundation of information technology, but instrumentation is an important part of information technology. This shows the importance of instrumentation and measurement in modern society.

In recent years, instrumentation and measurement have also received the attention of the country, and the country has also given great support in various policies. In 2001, at the Fourth National People’s Congress of the Seventh National People’s Congress, in the Outline of the Tenth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development, the country put forward “Pay attention to the development of instruments and meters and place them in an important position. After that, the government issued a major A special fund to support the development of instrumentation, which once again illustrates the national team's attention to instrumentation. From 2005 to the present, the country has issued relevant policies, all related to the development of instrumentation and measurement. In the space program and other scientific and technological development plans , Instrumentation and measurement are also highly valued. Therefore, the rapid development of instrumentation and measurement in recent years.

Under the watchful eye of the country, the instrumentation and measurement have gone from immature to mature. And it has gradually promoted the innovation and research and development of the domestic instrumentation industry. From the previous introduction of foreign instruments, it is now possible to completely develop and manufacture instruments by itself, and the quality and precision of the manufactured instruments are very high. In particular, the optical imaging and coordinate measurement industries have entered a period of intense competition, and fierce competition has further promoted the updating of technical skills.
