Casting off with WinDaq Software and the DI-730
Data Acquisition > Voltage > DI-730 Sport fishermen would recognize the product immediately. Though this one was rigged to a metal tub filled with water, most fishermen are used to seeing the product attached to the bow of a bass boat where it allows the skipper to easily and quietly maneuver the boat for a Read More
Data Acquisition Gain and Dynamic Range Considerations
Data Acquisition > Software > WinDaq Attempting to acquire a millivolt level signal with too low a gain factor is like trying to read a license plate from a hundred yards away. In order to read the plate you would need some sort of magnification, a pair of binoculars perhaps. In the realm of data Read More
Thermocouple Measurements Profile Cement Curing Characteristics of Prosthetic Implants
Data Acquisition > Thermocouple > DI-1000TC Introduction It’s obvious that prosthetic implants have changed the lives of countless thousands for the better. Knee, hip, and shoulder replacements are common surgeries today, substituting diseased or damaged joints with synthetic materials that allay pain and simultaneously restore mobility and quality of life. Not as obvious is the Read More
How To Connect and Calibrate Thermocouples Using DI-8B47 Series Amplifiers
Data Acquisition > Thermocouple Thanks to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), thermocouple wire is color coded to indicate thermocouple type and polarity. This takes the guesswork out of connecting thermocouple wires to your DI-718B, DI-718Bx, or DI-788. In this example, we’ll show you how to connect and calibrate a K-type thermocouple using a DI-718B, Read More
WinDaq Cuts Maintenance Costs in Steel Mill
Data Acquisition > Software > WinDaq A steel mill customer wanted to predict bearing failure in the huge ladles they use for pouring molten steel since unscheduled shutdowns greatly complicate the repair process and significantly increase maintenance costs. The ladle is placed on a turret and filled with molten steel. The turret, riding on the Read More
