An ADC (analog to digital converter) is an electronic circuit that converts the analog data (continuous) from nature into digital data (binary). The ADC circuits can be found as a stand-alone ADC IC module or embedded into microcontrollers. The following features are best for you to understand before you go deeper about ADC. ADC Features … Read more
We do agree that almost every aspect of our life is processed by the digital processing system. It’s the reality that most of us already at least have a laptop, PC, or smartphone. However, the world we are living in at the moment is the analog world. It is logical that the data conversion from … Read more
A transducer is an electronic device that functions to convert the energy from a certain form into another form. The process to convert the energy from one form into another is called transduction. The conversion is going through two processes, which are sensing and transducing the physical quantity (units) such as length, pressure, temperature, sound, … Read more
The question might arise from you when trying to determine what is actually controlling the daily appliances you often meet, such as a printer, microwave, or even a simple line-following robot. Well, the answer you have been seeking is right here in this article. The thing that controls those devices called a microcontroller. By reading this … Read more
An EMF detector is one of the essential testing instruments for an engineer or a technician. These testing devices are often integrated into a multimeter, but do not provide a detailed analysis, and that’s where a full standalone EMF detector comes into play. The detector can measure the presence as well as the strength of … Read more
Instrumentation is the term used to refer both single instrument and a collective of instruments. The single instrument may perform physical quantity detection, measurement, analyzing and even magnification. This single instrument can work together with other instruments to perform a particular task; without being connected using a communication line. On the other hand, a collective … Read more
It’s important to learn the micrometer body parts. It gives you a clear idea of how to use a micrometer, how to take the reading, and how it works. On this page, you’ll learn several micrometer body parts that you’ll find on a mechanical (vernier) micrometer. 10 Micrometer Parts (Mechanical Model) A typical mechanical micrometer … Read more
In terms of measuring the distance of the internal-external dimension and diameter of an object, it is a lot harder to do with a conventional measure like a ruler. However, it’s a lot easier with a caliper. There’s a lot to be said for a caliper, but how it actually works? How does it serve … Read more
A caliper is a precision measuring instrument that has the good flexibility to measure various dimensions such as thickness, outside diameter, inside diameter, length, width, and depth of an object in a single tool. It’s a very complete tool to support your multiple dimension measurement. A caliper is made of steel. However, sometimes carbon material … Read more
Suppose you are measuring with a caliper, then you suddenly get quite confused. You ask, “Why must the aligned line that gets counted on the vernier scale? How that could be?” If you are in a situation like this, this is a good chance to learn it. Vernier scale is the secondary scale that is … Read more
