This user guide gives the operation of Intersil’s precision products in a temperature sensor application. Also, this provides a functional description on how it works. Moreover, the guide indicates ...

What types of variables do DAQ systems need to accommodate? You can get an idea of the kinds of quantities that are commonly measured by reviewing Echelon’s LonWorks list of 166 standard network ...

An RTD (resistance temperature detector) is a temperature sensor that operates on the measurement principle that a material’s electrical resistance changes with temperature. The relationship between ...

Designing an analog circuit can be a frustrating experience, as noted by Nick Cornford in his Design Idea (DI), “DIY RTD for a DMM.” With a fortnight’s struggle, I completed the design of 4 mA to 20mA ...

Providing as many as 128 channels worth of USB multifunction analog I/O and signal conditioning, the DAQ-PACK Series integrated multifunction data acquisition and control system performs signal ...

The old saying “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” cautions against tampering with something that performs reliably and regularly proves its worth. Arguably, this advice applies to the circuit design ...

The PT-104 is a 4-channel, temperature data acquisition module for use with Pt100 and Pt1000 RTD sensors. The high-accuracy and high-resolution PT-104 measures temperature, resistance and voltage. No ...

Thermocouples function on the principle of the Seebeck effect, which states that two dissimilar metals combined at two junctions produce an electromotive force, or EMF, at the junctions. The metals ...
