We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Signal Conditioning",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Laboratorytalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Web-enabled temperature data acquisition from
Adept Scientific, which we summarised at the time by saying "Two web-enabled temperature input devices from Measurement Computing, the Web-Temp and the Web-TC, allow users to take measurements and monitor them via the internet".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Better control of high speed cyclic testing from
Admet: "The eP DS from Admet is said to be ideal for low-force cyclic testing of medical devices, biomaterials, and plastics, as well as higher force component testing".
In May 2007, we covered the news from Mosaic Industries
concerning its 24/7 Data Acquisition Wildcard
- take a look at Wildcard is trumps for high-res data acquisition
which says: "Up to eight mix-and-match Wildcards can be stacked onto Mosaic's single board computers and graphical user interfaces for a unique combination of specialised I/O".
Take a look also at the news release from Eurotherm, Towards a new strategy for life sciences,
as well as Load cell offsets side effects of side loading from RDP Electronics,
and Data acquisition system eliminates all aliasing from Microstar Laboratories.
