The set of instruments and how they are used in a song or piece of music.
Gebruikspatroon:
the instrumentation of [a song/piece/arrangement]

Synoniemen
arrangement (Broader term that can include harmony and structure as well as instrument choice, not only which instruments are used.)
Antoniemen
a cappella (Describes music performed without any instruments, the opposite of using instrumental backing or complex instrumentation.)

measuring instruments in machines or vehicles
All the tools, gauges, and screens that show information in a car, airplane, or machine.
Gebruikspatroon:

Veelgemaakte fout:
Learners may confuse this meaning with musical instrumentation. In technical or engineering contexts, especially with words like "cockpit," "process," or "panel," it almost always refers to measuring and control devices, not musical instruments.
Synoniemen
gauges (Informal and narrower; usually refers only to dial-type displays, not the full system of sensors and electronics.)
Antoniemen
manual measurement (Describes measuring by hand with simple tools instead of using built-in, automated instrumentation.)
