The Apple iPhone brought the benefits of integrated multi-sensor technology to the masses, and while the application of sensors and their associated algorithms has multiplied and changed the world ...

The IEEE has defined IEEE 1451, a family of Smart Transducer Interface standards that permit systems to automatically identify sensors and obtain their calibration and operating parameters. In March ...

An example is the sensing of a rotary cam position. The oblong shape of the cam dictates use of a sensor able to detect different shapes and sizes. A simple prox sensor merely detects the presence or ...

IEEE P1451.4 defines a sensor with embedded TEDS and a mixed-mode, analog and digital interface. Most sensors put out some sort of analog signal -- a voltage, current, or resistance, that varies in a ...

To help meet ADC market demands for higher-accuracy temperature measurements, Linear Tech enhanced its temperature sensor with multiple operating modes and by streamlining its analog inputs. The ...

Malvern, Pa.—Vishay Intertechnology Inc. has beefed up its optoelectronics portfolio with a family of mid-range infrared (IR) sensors featuring digital and analog outputs in three package types. They ...

1. Measuring range. When choosing a sensor (pressure, temperature, analog, etc.), the measuring range should directly correspond with the physical measuring range in order to obtain the most accurate ...

Acromag has released another BusWorks Ethernet I/O module to simplify the task of interfacing data from virtually any analog sensor to a Modbus TCP/IP control/monitoring system. The new 958EN model ...
