Turning Point Analysis with dataTaker Data Loggers

From CAS DataLoggers

Turning Point Analysis is a method of data compression for arbitrary waveforms.
The incoming waveform is sampled at speed and analyzed in real time to identify the turning points (Maxima and Minima) of the waveform, and the value and time of the turning point are also logged to memory for later recovery. Using series 3 dataTaker dataloggers, the Applications Specialists at CAS DataLoggers have assembled this tutorial to examine this subject, including a simple method of noise rejection (dead banding) for dataTaker DT800 and DT500 data loggers.

Products & Services
Data Acquisition
Data acquisition is the digitizing and processing of multiple sensor or signal inputs for the purpose of monitoring, analyzing and/or controlling systems and processes. Signal conditioning includes the amplification, filtering, converting, and other processes required to make sensor output suitable for rereading by computer boards.
Chart Recorders
Chart recorders and strip charts are data acquisition tools used to generate a plot, graph or other visualization of data versus time.
Data Acquisition Computer Boards
Data acquisition computer boards are self-contained printed circuit boards that typically plug into the backplane, motherboard, or otherwise interface directly with the computer bus.
Data Loggers and Data Recorders
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.
Data Acquisition Systems and Instruments
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.
