By Jae-yong Chang, Agilent Technologies
The LXI (LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation) standard specifies the interaction of proven, widely used standards to enable fast, efficient, and cost-effective creation and reconfiguration of test systems. This article examines how LXI-based oscilloscopes can benefit you when you are building automated test systems. Click here to read full article...

Flow Control in Antarctica
By Sierra Instruments
With just days left before Stanford researcher David Mucciarone left on his annual pilgrimage to Antarctica, the mass flow controller in his carbon analyzer failed. He purchased a Sierra Smart-Trak Model 100 digital mass flow controller just prior to boarding ship. He installed it on the trip down to Antarctica, and it worked perfectly. www.automation.com/resources-tools/application-stories/test-measurement/some-guys-would-go-to-the-end-of-the-earth-to-make-a-point

Automotive Data Acquisition System uses Industrial I/O
By Data Translation
A component manufacturer needed to acquire 24 analog and 8 digital inputs during in-car-testing at speeds up to 160 mph and over rough roads. They use two DT9836-12 data acquisition USB modules in tandem and an industrial notebook computer. Click here to read full article...

Water utility does its own verifying of magmeter accuracies
By ABB
When the Mesa, Az, water utility purchased 12 well water magmeters, it also purchased a CalMaster calibration verification tool. The portable, PC-based system works with MagMaster magmeters from ABB Instrumentation. The utility does its own calibration now, saving $17,000 per year. Click here to read full article...

Automation Helps General Mills® Make Bread
With multiple ingredients from a myriad of vendors, one of the world’s largest food makers wanted to improve the consistency of each loaf… In the food industry, various yields of raw ingredients can result in various final properties. This in turn makes for consistency issues in the end product which makes it difficult to predict customer response. In a strive for making the most consistent loaf of bread, General Mills wanted to understand the inherent extensibility – which may be the most important property for assessing dough quality.
