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 ...

Dynisco pressure sensors have been used around the world and for many different applications for over 60 years. Dynisco holds the original patent for the melt pressure sensor used in extrusion, and by ...

The most common device for the measurement of load, pressure, torque, and even piezo-resistive (low frequency) acceleration is the strain gauge transducer. As a transducer, which converts a measured ...

However, producing biofuels at scale remains a complex process, as market competitiveness, process intricacies and safety requirements demand operational excellence.   In this context, digitalization ...

IEEE P1451.4 defines a sensor with embedded TEDS and a mixed-mode, analog and digital interface. Most sensors put out some sort of analog signal -- a voltage, current, or resistance, that varies in a ...

This article explores the calibration of a melt pressure transducer, a type of sensor used in injection molding and plastic extrusion. The output of the sensor must be calibrated to work alongside ...

Test and measurement instruments evolve over time. The banner improvements come in performance, things like measurement bandwidth and dynamic range. These always make the trade press headlines, but ...
