Keithley Publishes New Handbook

By Design World Staff | March 16, 2007

Cleveland, Ohio – March 2007 – Keithley Instruments, Inc., a leader in solutions for emerging measurement needs, has published “Understanding New Developments in Data Acquisition, Measurement, and Control.” The 220+-page data acquisition handbook is a practical guide to high performance test and measurement and is available for no charge at www.ggcomm.com/Keithley/MAR07DAQ_NR.html.

The handbook is divided into nine sections that discuss issues influencing the selection of data acquisition and control equipment. Topics include:

  • An overview of data acquisition and measurement, including a description of plug-in boards and external data acquisition systems;
  • Computer buses, protocols, and hardware, emphasizing the importance of the computer to the overall performance and reliability of the systems;
  • Software and making the appropriate choice for data acquisition software;
  • Basic component theory and the types of electronic components for data acquisition systems to optimize test procedures;
  • Analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion, interfacing, isolation, and ground loops;
  • Temperature and strain measurements with tutorials on the capabilities of the sensor technologies available to make these measurements and ensure accuracy,
  • and Real-world applications that use data acquisition systems to monitor or control industrial processes.

The handbook also includes three appendices, including selector guides for plug-in boards, USB modules, PXI systems, and external data acquisition instruments, a glossary of commonly used terms, and a discussion of safety considerations.

Keithley Instruments offers a broad range of precision measurement and high-speed data acquisition solutions, including PXI, LXI, PCI, USB, and GPIB. Keithley’s recently introduced PXI products are designed for high-speed automated production testing as part of a hybrid test system using precision instruments. Digital Multimeter/Data Acquisition Systems combine the accuracy and sensitivity R&D users need with the high throughput production test demands. Whether the application is in the lab or on the production floor, Keithley offers solutions in a variety of form factors, from plug-in boards to external systems with multipoint measurement and control capabilities.
