Outputs 101: Sensor Outputs for Continuous Measurement

Sensor output on a graph

When selecting a level sensor or pressure transmitter, the output of the sensor is always an important criterion. Outputs have more implications than whether or not they match the control system, though that is often the immediate need.

The Top Ten Things NOT To Do With Pressure Sensors

Our design engineers and tech support team has heard and seen just about everything when it comes to level sensors and pressure transducers. Today, we want to cover the top ten things to NOT do with a pressure sensor.

The order of this list was determined based on two factors: frequency of the mistake, and the seriousness of the offense.

From the Lab: Digital Gauge Remote Display

Digital gauges can have a remote display, with a cable separating the transducerA slight customization we did for a customer quite a while ago has become more popular recently: putting a cable between the actual pressure transducer and the digital display on a digital pressure gauge.

How To Data Log with the PG10 Digital Pressure Gauge - Part 4

Part 4 of our PG10 digital pressure gauge data logging series covers viewing, stopping, and clearing logs. For now, you can access the last 60 data logs via the user-interface on the PG10. However, there is software for full data logging capabilities. Look for that release in the near future. For now, check out the video below:

 

APGSensors.com Nominated for Prestigious Website Awards

We have some exciting news! We were just nominated for the 2012 Blue Drop Awards, a prestigious website award!

Our category is “Best Business Website”, nominated for our easy navigation scheme and our, as noted by our nominator, “well-kept blog” (we didn’t say it).

How To Data Log with the PG10 Digital Pressure Gauge - Part 3

Part 3 of our PG10 digital pressure gauge data logging series covers event-based data logging. This allows you to log certain events based on user-defined criteria. So if you only want to know when the pressure spikes to a certain level, you can. Or you can log loss of pressure. It's entirely up to you! See the video below:

 

Application Alert: Precise Weight Measurements on Aircraft

B-52 bombersWhen repairing or loading aircraft, weight distribution and balance are paramount. Measurements have to be taken from several points to make sure proper balance is maintained, and the aircraft can fly safely and efficiently.
