Sensors embed datasheets
Plug and play sensors allow instruments and/or software to self-configure from data read directly from the sensor itself.
Plug and play sensors allow instruments and/or software to self-configure from data read directly from the sensor itself This eliminates data entry errors that could have profound effects on system accuracy and reliability

High-performance eddy current measurement
Lion Precision's new Inductive division has released its first in a series of new eddy current measurement systems, the ECL100.
As well as self-configuring, systems can warn operators if a sensor is past due for calibration, keeping the entire system operating at maximum performance.
Sensors with embedded TEDS (transducer electronic datasheet) technology transmit datasheet information such as sensitivity, range, calibration due date etc to TEDS-enabled data acquisition or other systems.
To promote this leading edge technology, Lion Precision has partnered with National Instruments as the only capacitive and inductive sensor TEDS affiliate.
Lion Precision inductive sensors are TEDS enabled and can be read by LabView and other National Instruments software.
Lion Precision is also supporting the Virtual TEDS initiative allowing complete datasheet retrieval from a serial number, through the Internet, without reading directly from the sensor.
Virtual TEDS is supported by LabView, LabWindows and other software as well.
Lion Precision is a leading manufacturer of noncontact capacitive and inductive sensors for displacement measurement and is releasing a full line of TEDS enabled capacitive sensors in the fourth quarter of 2003 to add to the existing TEDS enabled inductive sensors.
