Chinese and foreign electronic measuring instrument industry gap

In recent years, although China's electronic measuring instrument industry has made great progress, the gap with foreign manufacturers is still very large, mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. The popularity of digital electronic measuring instruments has yet to be improved. The "digital era" has come. The "digital era" is the latest symbol of social and economic modernization. It is related to the level of "core competitiveness" of a country in the field of science and technology. If insufficient attention is paid to it, a country will lose its leading position in technology. status.

2. Modularization. This is the direction of the development of international electronic measuring instruments. In fact, modularization, bus technology, and software technology are three-in-one, not "mechanical" modularity, and its difficulty is no less than bus technology and software technology in our electronic measurement. Instrument companies have not started well.

3. The bus technology is very different. VXI, PXI, LXI, USB interface, bus technology have been developed to a very high level in electronic measuring instruments. At present, there are three trends driving the development of the test and measurement industry: First, there must be system-ready hardware, that is, modular products, that can quickly build a system. Second, there must be standards-based, PC-compatible input and output interfaces, as well as input and output drivers that can be based on local area networks or the Internet. Third, there must be a flexible software solution, regardless of the customer needs is the Excel interface, the text interface can give customers a flexible choice. The international LXI (LANeXtensionforInstrument) alliance was created to cater to this change. Foreign companies have already developed LXI bus products. Some domestic universities have started research. Domestic electronic measuring instruments have not yet been involved. If it is too late, it will once again widen the gap between China's electronic measuring instruments and the level of international technology. Therefore, China's electronic measuring instruments Enterprises should start the application of LXI bus technology in electronic measurement instruments as soon as possible.

4. Software technology. There is no software technology for electronic measuring instruments. It is as if our electronic measuring instruments are still in the “cold weapons” era. However, software technology is still far from being reflected in our electronic measuring instruments. This does not solve our electronic measuring instruments forever. It is not a modern level electronic measuring instrument.

5. Integrated technology. Electronic measurement instrument hardware, ie, electronic circuit technology, coaxial device component technology, waveguide device component technology integration technology, is an important core technology in electronic measurement instruments. It is combined with bus technology, software technology, and modularization technology to form a modernization. Electronic measuring instruments, this is a difficult problem that our electronic measuring instrument companies still have to overcome.

China is a big country. The electronic measurement technology it needs is comprehensive and world-class. Since 2000, the world’s electronic measuring instruments have made tremendous technological progress. It is expected that in the next few years, the electronic measuring instrument industry will Driven strongly, based on SDR (software-defined radio) measurement instruments and multi-field instrument interoperability expansion as a hot spot, LXI and USB will be used as a link bus space, will obtain more technological innovation, and actively promote the development of electronic devices, electronic applications , Forming a positive interaction.

“The domestic market for electronic measuring instruments is about 10 billion yuan, and the sales volume is over 7 million. The growth rate is above 20%. It should be said that the demand for electronic measuring instruments is very strong.” Luo Baihui believes that the total market for electronic instruments in China is in the ten billion US dollars. About the world, it should be among the best in the world.

How large is China's electronic measuring instrument market? Instrument World World Network says it is actually a question that is difficult to clarify. It is bigger than we think. The number of electronic instruments and equipment imported by various companies registered and registered in mainland China amounted to US$15 billion, of which foreign-owned enterprises accounted for 61.7%, Chinese-foreign joint ventures accounted for 9%, state-owned enterprises accounted for 12%, private enterprises accounted for 11%, and collectively Enterprises accounted for 2%, and Chinese-foreign cooperative enterprises accounted for 3%.
