Tech Tips

Tech Tip 60801 - How to Determine Measurement Accuracy, Resolution, and Sensitivity using IOtech Instruments: Accuracy, resolution, and sensitivity are not always supplied with a data acquisition system’s specification, but frequently, they can be calculated using the techniques described in this
Tech Tip for IOtech hardware.
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 60201 - Grounding and Shielding Considerations for Thermocouples, Strain Gages, and Low-Level Circuits: This Tech Tip describes a procedure for maintaining a high signal-to-noise ratio environment when connecting sensors and other devices that deliver very low output voltages to data acquisition systems and signal conditioners. The technique addresses noise interference from ground loop circuits as well as induced signals.
Tech Tip 60101 - Connecting quadrature digital position sensors to IOtech's WaveBook and Daq Series devices: This tech tip describes the procedure for connecting one or more linear or rotary, incremental digital encoders to certain IOtech data acquisition systems. The quadrature encoders produce a serial stream of pulses which indicate relative position, speed, and direction of the component on which they are mounted.
