Data Logging in Diesel Engine Emissions Control Applications
Recent local, state and federal mandates such as RICE NESHAP require the reduction of harmful emissions (both particulate and NOx) from diesel engines used in off-road equipment, generators and more. After the emissions reduction equipment has been installed, it’s also necessary to monitor engine performance. Authored by CAS DataLoggers, this paper will review the datalogging requirements for this application, the sensors required, and sensor mounting considerations.
Capturing and Simulating Rotational and Jitter Angle-based Measurements
Capturing and simulating the high-speed rotations involved in automated machines and test rigs often plays a major role in industrial automotive applications. Common requirements are accurate speed measurement over a large range of operation, detection of speed changes, capturing jitter, jitter simulation, and angle-based data acquisition. The Applications Specialists at CAS DataLoggers have put together this article to present some practical approaches to accomplish these ta...
Turning Point Analysis with dataTaker Data Loggers
Turning Point Analysis is a method of data compression for arbitrary waveforms. The incoming waveform is sampled at speed and analyzed in real time to identify the turning points (Maxima and Minima) of the waveform, and the value and time of the turning point are also logged to memory for later recovery. Using series 3 dataTaker dataloggers, the Applications Specialists at CAS DataLoggers have assembled this tutorial to examine this subject, including a simple method of nois...
The Basics of Signal Attenuation
Attenuation is a reduction of signal strength during transmission, such as when sending data collected through automated monitoring. Attenuation is represented in decibels (dB), which is ten times the logarithm of the signal power at a particular input divided by the signal power at an output of a specified medium. For example, an office wall (the specific medium) that changes the propagation of an RF signal from a power level of 10 milliwatts (the input) to 5 milliwatts (the...
Automated Pendulum Demo Shows ADwin Microsecond Response Time
CAS DataLoggers Sales Manager Pete Martin impressed attendees with a unique ADwin demonstration at a successful exhibition at the 2012 Control System Integrators Association (CSIA) Executive Conference in Scottsdale, Arizona. This demo utilizes an interesting program highlighting how to achieve microsecond response times with a measurement and control system while operating in the Microsoft Windows environment, employing an inverted pendulum, which is highly unstable unlike t...
The Top 3 Reasons the Temperature Goes Crazy in Your Fridge
Personnel installing new temperature monitoring equipment in their medical or storage refrigerators and freezers are often stumped as to why the temperature appears to vary unexpectedly. CAS DataLoggers has put together this quick guide to recommend some solutions and help you investigate so that over time you can identify the source and control the rhythm of your fridge. There are 3 common reasons the recorded temperatures can periodically change:
10 Things to Know Before Purchasing a Data Logger for Remote Monitoring
Remote monitoring applications in fields such as oil and natural gas extraction, environmental monitoring, and fleet management often require close attention to detail. Users need to accurately record and track several variables including temperature, flow, strain, stress, vibration, and more. Therefore, when purchasing a new data logging solution, it's crucial to understand the exact capabilities and specifications of the device you need. However, the sheer variety of data ...
R&D Testing for Calcium Treatment Water Filters
CAS DataLoggers recently supplied the data acquisition solution for a customer specializing in providing water purification filter systems and cartridges for industrial and household applications. These filter cartridges were widely used to improve water quality and taste, especially for coffee vending machines but including even large industrial plants. The filter material acted to reduce the water’s calcium content, balancing its pH level and binding other metallic ions. Th...
How To Choose the Ideal Oven Temperature Data Logger
Solutions providers regularly speak with customers to address the key question: “Which of your products is best for my oven temperature application?” Whether you are an engineer planning for your next furnace temperature profiling project or a paint shop filling a requisition intended for paint testing as part of quality assurance, the number of available options when choosing your oven datalogger can initially overwhelm you. Taking the wide product diversity on the market in...
Training Aid Development For a Fire and Rescue Service
CAS DataLoggers recently provided the datalogging solution for a large county’s Fire and Rescue Service (FRS) whose workers were acknowledged national leaders in the field of fire behavior training. Firefighters wearing heavy breathing apparatus and protective clothing often had to work in smoke-filled environments with very low visibility; hearing was limited by the roar of the fire and the noise of the appliances; the senses of smell and taste were blocked by the breathing ...
