Black Box for Trains: IOtech's LogBook helped engineers determine root causes of failures, which has resulted in preventive maintenance schedules that have reduced downtime.

Tech Tip 60602 - Basic Strain Gage Measurements using IOtech DAQ Hardware: This Tech Tip discusses the basic principle of operation of strain gages, the various ways in which they may be connected, and the requirements of their signal conditioners to reduce susceptibility to noise that can contaminate their low-level output signals.
Tech Tip 60601 - Basic Temperature Measurements using IOtech DAQ Hardware: This Tech Tip describes the techniques used to measure temperature with thermocouples, RTDs, and thermistors, how to achieve accurate results, and the unique characteristics of the various signal conditioners required for each type.
Tech Tip 60401 - How to Use the Counter/Timer/Trigger Functions of IOtech Data Acquisition Systems: The counter and timer functions provided with numerous IOtech products let users measure either the frequency or the period of an input signal, and the total number of pulses or cycles captured in a specified time period. These functions are enabled when the digital I/O ports are set up as inputs using the supplied software package.
