A scale or balance is a device used to measure weight or mass

# data[].attributes.definition
Instrument designed for measuring the number size distribution of particles in an aerosol sample by means of putting them into a defined state of electrical charge and size selecting them by passing them through a capacitor. A SMPS employs a continuous, fast-scanning technique to provide high-resolution measurements.

# data[].attributes.definition
A device that detects events or changes in quantities and provides a corresponding output, generally as an electrical or optical signal.

# data[].attributes.definition
A sensor platform is a basic device for connecting any sensor technology. The sensors are usually managed as additional devices.

# data[].attributes.definition
A sequencer is a scientific instrument used to automate the sequencing process (RNA, DNA, ...)

# data[].attributes.definition
In computing, a server is a piece of computer hardware or software (computer program) that provides functionality for other programs or devices, called "clients".

# data[].attributes.definition
A SIM card or SIM (subscriber identity module) is a type of integrated circuit, often in the form of a smart card.

Sensor for determining the soil temperature and soil moisture for installation in the subsoil

# data[].attributes.definition
A sensor for measuring soil temperature (but no soil moisture).

# data[].attributes.definition
A photovoltaic module that is electrically connected and mounted on a supporting structure.  Used to generate and supply electricity.

# data[].attributes.definition
A tensiometer in soil science is a measuring instrument used to determine the matric water potential (soil moisture tension) in the vadose zone.

# data[].attributes.definition
An instrument that is capable of repeatedly altering and maintaining specific temperatures for defined periods of time.

# data[].attributes.definition
An electronic and optical instrument used in modern surveying and building construction.  A total station is an electronic theodoloite integrated with an electronic distance meter to read slope distances from the instrument to a particular point.

# data[].attributes.definition
A water quality sensor that monitors light reflected off the particles suspended in water.

# data[].attributes.definition
An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or uninterruptible power source is a type of continual power system that provides automated backup electric power to a load when the input power source or mains power fails.

# data[].attributes.note
Unlike a water quality probe, a sensor is only one part of a complete device and cannot usually be operated without the main unit. In most cases, a sensor can only measure one parameter. In some cases, combination sensors are available (e.g. C/T)

A water sampler is a device for field collection of one or more samples of water for testing.

# data[].attributes.definition
An instrument that measures the temperature of the water with which it is in contact.

# data[].attributes.definition
Generally, any radar that is suitable or can be used for the detection of precipitation or clouds.

# data[].attributes.definition
A weather station is a facility, either on land or sea, with instruments and equipment for measuring atmospheric conditions to provide information for weather forecasts and to study the weather and climate.

# data[].attributes.definition
A scale or balance is a device used to measure weight or mass. These are also known as mass scales, weight scales, mass balances, and weight balances

# data[].attributes.note
'weighing scale' can also be substituted by 'mass scale', 'scale' or 'balance'
