The old saying “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” cautions against tampering with something that performs reliably and regularly proves its worth. Arguably, this advice applies to the circuit design ...

Temperature measurement and control is one of the most critical processes used in electronics. Found in virtually every piece of electronic equipment and in every industrial process, temperature ...

Line of resistance temperature detector (RTD) sensors are designed for precise and repeatable measurements. A high signal-tonoise output increases data-transmission accuracy with greater distance ...

Omega’s new RTDM12 series of compact RTD temperature sensors are extremely rugged with a molded (IP67) 4-pin connector with M12 male thread and a fast response time. This RTD plug is ideal for ...

The self-calibration process functions in situ and provides the necessary documentation to meet the conformance requirements of regulatory agencies. It eliminates the risk of an undetected calibration ...

This article discusses the history and design challenges for designing a resistance temperature detector (RTD)-based temperature measurementsystem. It also covers RTD selection and configuration trade ...

To maintain high resolution and accuracy within a transducer or sensor-based measurement system, the designer must exercise care in selecting the excitation source for the transducer — and the ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. In a typical resistance temperature detector(RTD) measurement application, the delta-sigma converter often is configured in a ...

Before running a formal test with multiple resistance temperature detector (RTD) sensors, it is often necessary to calibrate and debug a data-acquisition system to verify basic functionality. The ...
