The Influence of Information Technologies on the Development of Measurement Tools and Methods in Ukraine (second half of the 20th century)

The main stages of the development of information and measurement systems in Ukraine against the background of the formation of global scientific research are studied. The periodization of development is presented, the characteristic features of each stage are outlined. It has been established that the initiation of scientific research in the field of electrical measuring technology in Ukraine is connected with the creation of the first specialized laboratories and the activities of individual scientists, in particular, Professor P.P. Kopniaiev at the Kharkiv Institute of Technology, M.A. Artemiev at the Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, and V. Krukovskyi at the Lviv Polytechnic. The appearance of electronic computers in Ukraine in the early 1950s influenced the development of digital measuring equipment. Researched scientific activity of A.D. Nesterenko on the creation of the latest methods of designing electrical measuring equipment. It is outlined that theoretical studies of resonant measuring devices by K.S. Poluliakh and the educational literature created by him influenced the formation of the system of training specialists in electrical measurements. The scientific heritage of the creation of promising electronic digital measuring devices by B.Y. Shvetskyi. The activity of the founder of the scientific school of electrometry, academician F.B. Hrynevych, was of great importance for the development of digital measuring equipment in Ukraine. The scientific activity of B.S. Stohnii on the initiation of a new scientific direction related to the creation of theoretical foundations, principles and methods of informatization in the electric power industry is considered.
