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 ...

Designing an analog circuit can be a frustrating experience, as noted by Nick Cornford in his Design Idea (DI), “DIY RTD for a DMM.” With a fortnight’s struggle, I completed the design of 4 mA to 20mA ...

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 ...

ELECTRONICS: Omega’s DTG-RTD100 Digital Thermometer Series features a large backlit display with 25mm (1 inch) digits that can be read as far as 10.7 m (35 feet) away. Reading features include, ...

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 ...

Thermocouples function on the principle of the Seebeck effect, which states that two dissimilar metals combined at two junctions produce an electromotive force, or EMF, at the junctions. The metals ...

The PRS-3 Series sanitary RTD sensors are used in food, dairy, beverage, and biopharmaceutical clean-in-place applications. The sensors come with heavy and standard-duty probes. The stepped design of ...

Omega’s new DTG-RTD100 Series features a large backlit display with 25mm (1”) digits that can be read as far as 10.7 m (35’) away. Reading features include, process, Min, Max, Alarm condition and ...
