Data Acquisition Systems and Instruments
(550 companies)
Data acquisition systems and instruments collect, digitize, and process multiple sensor or signal inputs for the purpose of monitoring, analyzing and/or controlling systems and processes.
Voltage Converters and Voltage Inverters
(154 companies)
Voltage converters and voltage inverters accept voltage input and provide a scaled voltage output. Conversion types include scaling up a low-level signal, voltage doubling, and inversion (converting a positive voltage to negative and vice versa).
Current Loop Converters
(83 companies)
Current loop converters convert an analog or digital signal to a current loop output such as 4-20 mA or 0-20 mA.
Sensor Transmitters
(479 companies)
Sensor transmitters are measurement or signal conditioning packages that provide a standard, calibrated output from a sensor or transducer in the form of a current loop output (e.g., 4-20 mA).
Data Loggers and Data Recorders
(1,115 companies)
Data loggers and data recorders acquire digital data from sensors and other signals. They are primarily used to store data for subsequent downloads to a host PC, but may also include real-time features such as monitors and alarms.
Sensor Multiplexers
(98 companies)
Sensor multiplexers allow the signal delivered to an instrument to be scanned or switched between multiple sensors. The multi-channel testing of multiple sensors/samples increases sample throughput and the productivity of costly instrumentation.
Temperature Signal Conditioners
(181 companies)
Temperature signal conditioners accept outputs from temperature measurement devices such as resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), thermocouples, and thermistors. They then filter, amplify, and/or convert these outputs to digital signals, or to levels suitable for digitization.
Pressure Transmitters
(635 companies)
Pressure transmitters translate the low level output of a sensor or transducer to a higher level signal suitable for transmission to a site where it can be further processed. These devices include pressure sensors, transducers, elements, and instruments.
Pressure Sensors
(1,141 companies)
Pressure sensors include all sensors, transducers and elements that produce an electrical signal proportional to pressure or changes in pressure.
Vibration and Acceleration Signal Conditioners
(33 companies)
Vibration signal conditioners and acceleration signal conditioners accept the output of devices that are designed specifically for vibration or acceleration measurement. They convert or condition these signals to digital data, or suitable levels for digitization.
Encoder and Resolver Signal Conditioners
(96 companies)
Encoder and resolver signal conditioners accept encoder and resolver measurements and convert or condition these signals into digital data or suitable levels.
Signal Conditioning Chips
(41 companies)
Signal conditioner chips are data acquisition devices that refine sensor outputs so that they can be read by computer boards or other IC devices.
Data Acquisition Computer Boards
(157 companies)
...inputs include voltage, current, frequency or a charge inputs. Sensor inputs are gaged inputs that require signal conditioning. Common sensor inputs include accelerometer, thermocouple, thermistor, RTD, strain gauge or bridge, and LVDT or RVDT. While many...
Linear Variable Differential Transformers (LVDT)
(99 companies)
Linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) linear position sensors have a series of inductors in a hollow cylindrical shaft and a solid cylindrical core. These devices produce an electrical output proportional to the position of the core
Chart Recorders
(271 companies)
...is defined as the difference (error) between the true value and the indication expressed as percent of the span. Accuracy, which is represented as a percentage of a full-scale measurement range, depends on signal conditioning linearity, hysteresis...
