Making Pressure Measurements with a Dataq Data Logger and Pressure Sensor
Making pressure measurements, and storing pressure data for review and analysis is an extremely common and important data acquisition application. Whether it’s water pressure at your local utility, or air pressure in an industrial compressed-air system, pressure data can be an invaluable resource, helping maintenance technicians and managers make informed decisions. In this application note, Read More
Pressure and Flow Data Acquisition Measurements in Hydraulic Systems
Data Acquisition > Mixed Measurements Think about the places hydraulics are used: cranes, backhoes, earthmoving equipment, lift gates and lifts of all kinds, amusement rides, your automobile. The list is almost endless. Behind the scenes of every hydraulic system are a host of pumps, motors, valves, seals, and other hardware that work as a system Read More
Pressure, Temperature, and Flow Data Acquisition Measurements in Injection Molding Machines
Data Acquisition > Mixed Measurements The operation of an injection molding machine is fairly simple in concept: Put plastic pellets in one end and force them with a worm gear through a tube under high pressure. The pressure creates heat that melts the pellets. The molten plastic is sucked into a mold. The plastic cools Read More
Data Acquisition Products Test Hydraulic Actuators
Data Acquisition > Mixed Measurements Note: The DI-740 mentioned below is now obsolete, replaced by the DI-808 or DI-2008. Both the DI-808 and DI-2008 include a 15VDC excitation supply and feature eight differential and isolated analog input channels, with programmable measurement ranges up to ±50V full scale. It’s a critical constraint that demands a critical measurement: Your control signal says Read More
