Instrumentation means Take example of Washing at home
Instrumentation is Getting a manual Washing m/c, You have

you shift to driwer etc etc, Now your washing is
intrumental not Toally by human, But if go for fully
automatic m/c Then you automated your washing operation I
think its very clear and simple way to understand

If a normal magnetic type flow transmitter that can measure flow, temperature and show this parameters on field, is it possible by any means to get this (flow and temperature) parameters info. On dcs? And if yes then with HART, FO communication or any other communication system?
