Ravi Shukla, HBM Test and Measurement Eighteen channels of sensor data from strain gauges attached to girders supporting bridge decking helped U.S. Army Corps of Engineers technicians monitor and record stresses on a decking structure of a new portable bridge. The work took place at the Corps’ Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) in Vicksburg, […]
Physical DAQ systems get Force Sensors
Equipped with TEDS Memory Modules
HBM, a manufacturer of data acquisition systems, analysis and calibration software, strain gauges, transducers and sensors, announced that its growing line of force sensors is available with a memory module designed to store sensor properties, which greatly simplifies the process of configuring a force measurement system. In the past, installing force sensors and configuring them […]
The basics of regenerative braking
Regenerative braking is an inherently good idea, particularly in a world that still relies heavily on fossil fuels and is threatened by the inevitable planet-warming effects that are the result. A moving vehicle, to take one example, possesses a certain amount of kinetic energy. If it is to be stopped or, while descending a grade, […]
Space Vectors aide drive for optimal efficiency
by Johannes Teigelkötter, HBM Using space vectors in test equipment helps engineers get a clearer, more precise picture of three-phase motor electromagnetics. With the continuing emphasis on the use of renewable sources of energy, as opposed to the reliance on fossil fuels, advances in induction motor design are allowing for greater efficiencies in both consumer […]
Data acquisition system gets CAN connections, 200 kS/sec sampling
HBM, a leading manufacturer of data acquisition systems, analysis and calibration software, strain gauges, transducers and sensors, has added three more module options for its rugged SomatXR data acquisition system, extending the range of applications and bringing the number of modules to eight. The rugged design of all SomatXR modules make them ideal for applications, […]
