This seems to be the technology the machines are based on, not a machine itself. If it were to be defined, this could potentially be a 'planned process' or a 'function', but it is not clear how the term would be used and if it is really necessary. Can you please provide examples how you would use it and contrast that how you would use specific instruments.
