another bit lesson learned about sensor, great and excellent presentation sir randy. hoping another class session from your end with respect to instrumentation and controls...
thanks again and now, i am going to day 5 presentation of last day class of sir randy...thanks also to DIGIKEY and DESIGN NEWS...
with al the lesson gathered from your prresentation, giving me to familiar all those devices used...i am now on slide 20...nearing to the end of the presentation...
Looks like I better spend some time on the Digi-Key web site this weekend. Nice to see the devices you show and the range of products that are here today. Glad for TI WeBench and DeV Kits!
If you have an extremely noisy situation it may provide a solution. In many cases it would not be required, so you need to verify that something additonal is necessary to solve a noise problem.
For someone who is new in this field, how can she/he discerne which features (in a datasheet) are essential and which are for gaining additional performance?
Sometimes a flyer for the IC provides a better features and benefits discussion. Alternatively, the press release for the IC or an article about the IC in a technical magazine may put the features in proper perspective. Ultimately, if you are meeting a design requirement specified by a customer, that may allow you to zero in on required vs nice to have features.
Good point. For those that did not catch yesterday's session, TI Webbench provides signal conditioning for sepcifc sensors in their database and they have alternatives for the ICs in the design so you can zero in on the ocst-perfoemance tradeoff you need.

A few that I have seen show tables comparing the capabilities of their devices. In most cases, you satrt with the output type you are dealing with and then they show the ICs in that area.
Just a comment for the WEB moderators - The audio on my computer keeps cutting out. The player button keeps acting like the "Pause" button was pushed. I can sometimes get it going just by hitting the "play" button on the audio control bar, but today was unusually bad. I only got through about half of the slides.
I did try refreshing the screen several times but nothing seems to work.
A good four days -- it has been a reminder to me about the range of sensors out there. You actually provided a solution to one long standing problem in an ore refining system we have,
For 3D printing to make the jump from rapid prototyping to manufacturing, engineers will need to find easier ways to move products from their CAD screens to their printers.
Gigabit and PoE are two networking technologies moving ahead in tandem as industrial users power remote Ethernet devices such as IP security cameras at 1,000 Mbps over existing CAT5 cable.
New versions of BASF's Ecovio line are both compostable and designed for either injection molding or thermoforming. These combinations are becoming more common for the single-use bioplastics used in food service and food packaging applications, but are still not widely available.

Early in my career, I worked as a draftsman and remember the days of drawing on vellum with numbered pencils and Mylar with plastic lead. This was a fun experience in the sense that I ...
I've been using workstations for more than 10 years and love finding ways to get more performance from my system. With demanding professional applications that require more power each ...
A lasting memory from my first job as an engineer in an auto assembly plant is standing on hard concrete at six in the morning, vending-machine coffee clutched in hand, listening to ...
For industrial control applications, or even a simple assembly line, that machine can go almost 24/7 without a break. But what happens when the task is a little more complex? That’s where the “smart” machine would come in. The smart machine is one that has some simple (or complex in some cases) processing capability to be able to adapt to changing conditions. Such machines are suited for a host of applications, including automotive, aerospace, defense, medical, computers and electronics, telecommunications, consumer goods, and so on. This radio show will show what’s possible with smart machines, and what tradeoffs need to be made to implement such a solution.
