Measuring instrument industry needs to increase scientific research investment

Although our country's test and measurement instruments have achieved certain development, we should also clearly recognize the gap with the international advanced level. In terms of the concept, thinking and technology of test and measurement instruments, we all have a gap with the international advanced level. The scale of production of test instruments is very important. At the same time, the market for single instrument types is small. These are the actual conditions of our country's test and measurement instruments.

Test and measurement instruments play an important role in many fields such as industry, scientific research, and defense equipment. Although the output value it occupies is not high, its added value brought by new technologies is very high, which can greatly promote national innovation and development.

However, the technical deficiencies in China's test equipment have led to high-end products always rely on imports. China has a big gap with foreign countries in terms of bus technology. Whether it is GPIB, VXI, or PXI, LXI, AXIe bus, etc., all are foreign definition researches. We can only apply them on the test system architecture and test methods that they define.

In addition, there are still some deficiencies in the definition of the specific functions of the desktop test instrument and the functional realization of the product. Due to the lack of core semiconductor devices, the development of China's test equipment has been limited, and chip R&D capability is very important. This is also the aspect that China must catch up with in order to truly promote the development of China's test and measurement instruments.

Therefore, China's test and measurement instrument companies must pay attention to investment, become bigger and stronger, can not expect too much short-term returns, take into account long-term interests, while the national strategic planning and related resources are also strong support for the reduction of measuring instruments and international gaps, The important support for development. Because the market for test instruments is small, the continuity and focus of R&D of the company are very important. Focusing on one or two types of products for continuous R&D and making quality products can improve the competitiveness of our products.

Test equipment companies must also change their views, and they should not be overly eager to pursue short-term benefits, resulting in repeated waste of R&D resources, and they must upgrade the service concept of the industry. High-quality market cultivation, after-sales service and technical support are essential elements of success, and the service awareness of Chinese enterprises needs to be improved.
