Until about 10 years ago, the force test and measurement industry had been fairly unimaginative. It had developed a standard way of building analog load cells, torque transducers and other devices, ...

Accuracy is a critical factor in modern engineering. It can mean the difference between a solid, reliable, high-quality product and one that fails or quickly becomes a liability to its users. But for ...

Many data-acquisition systems connect directly to sensors. As with all measurement systems, you must contend with errors and do your best to minimize them. Errors caused by thermal drift, EMI/RFI, ...

Electronic instrumentation called data acquisition systems (DAQs or DASs) acquire data from sensors. They are often extended to be instrumentation and control systems. This is a tutorial presentation ...

Our old algebra teacher used to say, “You have to take what you know and use it to get what you don’t know.” That saying always reminds of us sensors that convert physical quantities into things our ...
