Distributed DA Delivers Measurement Accuracy and Simplified Test Setup
By: Jon Semancik, VTI Instruments Corp.
Distributed DA systems offer improved measurement accuracy and easy setup when compared to centralized DA systems, however, their design must take into account signal conditioning, self-calibration, excitation, and noise rejection to achieve the most accurate and reliable measurement results. more >>
