We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Data Points",
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 Temperature transmitter networks 126 sensors from
Moore Industries International, which we summarised at the time by saying "A programmable fieldbus temperature transmitter saves wire and installation costs by allowing up to 126 devices to be networked onto one, low cost Foundation fieldbus H1
segment".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Laser scanning and inspection service opened from
GKS Inspection Services: "Global provider of dimensional measurement, 3D laser scanning and terrestrial scanning services has recently opened a laser scanning and inspection service bureau in the Netherlands".
In August 2007, we covered the news from EAO
concerning its Series 61L optical encoder
- take a look at Optical encoder has higher accuracy
which says: "A more accurate optical encoder with integrated pushbutton enhances accuracy by providing more data points to measure changes in shaft position".
Take a look also at the news release from Laser Design, Laser scanner checks complex mouldings,
as well as SCARA robot needs less assembly line space from Acal TC,
and Wireless platform designed for industry from Banner Engineering.
