Maisach/Munich/Germany. With more than 25 sensor types BMC Messsysteme GmbH, longtime manufacturer of measurement technology "made in Germany", considerably extends its product range in the sensor area. High-quality sensors for industrial applications and the special category of strain gauges were added. In PC data acquisition, the selection of a sensor is the suitable starting point for many, to solve a measuring task. Basically, a measuring task means to record a certain physical quantity and to provide these values in digital form. In industrial production, for example, environmental conditions, such as temperature or humidity, must be measured permanently. In the field of testing, products have to pass stress tests performing strain measurements under force application, for instance. Scientific experiments require to measure the most varied physical quantities in order to make well-founded statements. Many more applications could...

Maisach/Munich/Germany. The waterproof plastic housings ZU-PBOX-LAN and ZU-PBOX-PG from BMC Messsysteme GmbH (bmcm) optimally protect data acquisition systems and amplifier technology used in field applications and harsh environment against foreign substances and humidity. In most instances, measurement applications are not feasible under laboratory conditions. Humidity and dirt constitute a great challenge to the technician in measurement technology. Especially in long-term measurements, they can represent a serious danger to successfully carry out the measurement task. Outdoor measuring applications, such as load tests at rail tracks, bridges or buildings, often have to be carried out over a long period to detect changes. The measurement technology used must be able to brave wind and weather. In the industrial production, data acquisition systems serving for quality control and monitoring of the industrial plant are exposed to extreme...

Maisach/Munich/Germany. Under the title "DATA ACQUISITION", BMC Messsysteme GmbH (bmcm) introduces a revised product overview of their data acquisition systems, measuring cards, data loggers and amplifier measurement systems in the field of PC-based data acquisition. In measurement technology, data acquisition (DAQ) is the area responsible for recording and processing a physical quantity (e.g. voltage, temperature, speed). The field of PC-based data acquisition uses the computer as a tool to start scans, save and analyze signal values. In this case, physical quantities are recorded directly as voltages or by means of a sensor and are conducted to a data acquisition system connected to the PC. In the data acquisition unit, the recorded signals are digitized by the analog-to-digital converter (ADC), allowing for the recorded signals to be readable and utilizable by the PC. Since measurement tasks have extremely different requirements...

Maisach/Munich/Germany. With great success BMC Messsysteme GmbH (bmcm) presented itself at SENSOR + TEST 2008, the leading measurement fair. Their products in the range of industrial PC data acquisition and embedded PC systems aroused much interest in the trade visitors. In spite of the slight drop in the number of visitors during SENSOR + TEST 2008 from May 6 to 8, 2008 in Nuremberg there were large crowds at the booth of BMC Messsysteme GmbH. The exceptionally informative booth design caused many to stop abruptly. On large banners the concept of the measuring chain was introduced whose components are completely available at bmcm...

Maisach/Munich/Germany. A new benchmark in measurement technology is set by BMC Messsysteme GmbH (bmcm) with the latest measurement device USB-AD16f, a high-performance all-rounder, recording analog and digital signals with great accuracy. Technical products basically can be characterized by the following properties: performance, quality and price. If one feature is more pronounced, it is often at the expense of the others. A product, however, fulfilling all criteria to an extremely high degree, promises to be a great success. An illustrative example that everyone can relate to: Who is not dreaming about a car with a powerful...

The...

Maisach/Munich/Germany. An absolutely brilliant and unique idea has been launched by BMC Messsysteme GmbH (bmcm), longtime manufacturer for innovative measurement technology "made in Germany". The analog USB measuring system USB-AD and the digital I/O interface USB-PIO have been compressed extremely and integrated into a Sub-D connector housing. What some might consider as an incomplete delivery is the real clou: Customers, who order a USB device at bmcm for analog or digital measurement data acquisition, receive a red USB cable with an attached 25- or 37-pole Sub-D connector. That's supposed to be all? No, of course not! A "Software...

Maisach/Munich/Germany. Under the name of "AMS" (Amplifier Measurement System) the new product line of BMC Messsysteme GmbH offers up-to-date amplifier technology in 5B standard for individual requirements. In a solid, compact (½ x 19 inch) metal housing with the characteristic red frames of BMC Messsysteme GmbH high-quality measurement technology has been integrated in smallest space: the amplifier measurement system AMS8/AMS16 features 8 (AMS8) or 16 (AMS16) slots for 5B modules to connect analog signals. Various plug-in cassettes are available as accessories, on which the most different 5B amplifier modules and measuring...
