Software-based test-system architectures have become increasingly popular over the past several decades. As test applications become more complex, engineers are continuously challenged with the ...

Every product development effort begins with a plan—traditionally, in the form of diagrams such as Leonardo da Vinci’s ornithopter flying-machine drawings, but today, in the form of software ...

To design an inductive component that contains a magnetic-core material, an engineer must accurately measure the material's characteristics. A magnetic core's dynamic hysteresis loop, or “B-H curve,” ...

With the power and flexibility of today's computers, engineers and scientists are increasingly using virtual instrumentation for HIL (hardware-in-the-loop)-simulation applications. A key element of ...

“These instruments allow us to monitor and investigate material performance in real-time while the loop is still operational. This approach has not been implemented or explored in flow loops at other ...

The standard is intended to provide a uniform method of diagramming the physical interconnections of the instruments of a loop and to provide related information that ...
