posted by: Dr James Slader, Mantracourt

How can engineers overcome challenges associated with sensor calibration and ensure accurate and meaningful data measurement? Dr James Slader, Deputy Engineering Manager at telemetry specialist Mantracourt, explains the advantages of upgrading legacy sensors to incorporate transducer electronic datasheet (TEDS) memory devices, and how this could be a worthy investment.

The biggest challenge for data acquisition using sensors is understanding what you are measuring, and getting the right sensor for the job. For accurate and meaningful measurements, engineers must be able to calibrate their sensors so that measurements have traceability.
