Sensors and DAQbNovate says BactoSense ID counts coliforms and enterococci online, with E. coli coming soon. What its documents claim, what you can verify, and the US compliance fit.
Test and MeasurementEmerson lists ATEX and IECEx ratings for the Rosemount QX1400; its North American Division 2 rating is still expected. How US teams can evaluate both routes now.
AutomationWhat industrial IoT sensors are, which types measure what, how their signals reach a control system (4–20 mA, HART, IO-Link, Ethernet, wireless) and a 5-step selection method.
AutomationMVTec's AI Vision Solver is a prototype with no release date. What MVTec announced, what it has not disclosed, and what the HDevelopEVO timeline means for HALCON users.
Test and MeasurementWhat the profileGAUGE C.ODC numbers mean: 10 nm resolution and ≤0.03 µm repeatability are not accuracy. The datasheet's linearity, range limits and open questions.
Sensors and DAQHow a strain gauge turns strain into a resistance change, what the gauge factor means, how quarter, half and full bridges compare, and how to choose gauges and rosettes.
Maximizing Value at NI is an independently operated information site about test and measurement. It offers vendor-neutral explainers on data acquisition, sensors, embedded systems and industrial automation for engineers choosing and using test equipment.
