We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Analog Output",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Smart ultrasonic sensors have long range from
Vydas International Marketing, which we summarised at the time by saying "Long range ultasonics sensors use the latest microprocessor technology to provide low cost precision non-contact distance measurement for factory automation".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Mechatronics, robotics, automation and control from
Schunk Intec: "A strategic partnership between Schunk and Vision and Control, a market leading industrial image processing manufacturer, has been announced".
In June 2007, we covered the news from Measurement Computing
concerning its USB module
- take a look at High-speed, low-cost data acquisition USB modules
which says: "Measurement Computing has developed two high performance DAQ USB modules: 8 simultaneously sampled, 16-bit analog inputs at 250 kHz per channel".
Take a look also at the news release from ABB Automation Tech (LV Products), Torque ramp ensures smoother start for motor,
as well as RoHS compliant ultrasonic sensors from Vydas International Marketing,
and LVDT controllers for measurement and control from Macro Sensors.
