It’s a fair bet that anyone regularly reading Hackaday has a voltmeter within arm’s reach, and there’s a good chance an oscilloscope isn’t far behind. But beyond that, things get a little murky. We’re ...

High-tech instrumentation and state-of-the-art modeling tools are helping power plant operators achieve best-in-class performance, meet pollution targets, and better predict failures. Calibration ...

Accurate knowledge of the water level in any boiler drum application is an absolute necessity. While operating a boiler with low water level is one of the leading causes of boiler failure, operating ...

These days there a large number of sensors and analog circuits that are “controller friendly” meaning that their output signal is easily interfaced to the built-in Analog to Digital Convertors (ADCs) ...

Instrumentation amplifiers find wide use in real-world data acquisition. However, designers often incorrectly apply them. Specifically, although modern in amps have excellent CMR (common-mode ...

If you would like to learn more about the IAEA’s work, sign up for our weekly updates containing our most important news, multimedia and more. Dozens of experts and young professionals receive ...

Almost all spinal surgery currently performed involves segmental instrumentation, and non-segmental instrumentation is rarely used. The CPT codes for instrumentation vary based on whether the ...

Five case studies show how diagnostic data used with multivariable process data increases process efficiency and uptime. Instrumentation selection for plant applications is a multistep process, ...

There is some overlap -- but they're fundamentally different. Java instrumentation will track each and every instance of a given metric. This can create performance issues. Java sampling involves ...
