...are not unique to any particular position. Choices for encoder technology are optical, magnetostrictive, magnetoresistive, and inductive. Optical encoders use a light emitter and receiver. Magnetostrictive encoders determine displacement or strain from... Search by Specification | Learn More about Linear Encoders

...and this term is used commonly in connection with semi conducting materials. Optical strain gauge types include photoelastic, moiré interferometry, and holographic interferometry strain gauges. In a fiber optic strain gauge the sensor measures... Search by Specification | Learn More about Strain Gauges

...sensing technologies. Capacitance sensors are used with both conductive and nonconductive materials, but are very sensitive to environmental variables. Eddy current sensors contain two coils: an active coil that indicates the presence of a conducting... Search by Specification | Learn More about Linear Position Sensors

Desktop personal computers (PCs) are small, relatively inexpensive computers that are designed for individual users. Typically, these devices include a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and other peripherals. Search by Specification | Learn More about Desktop Personal Computers

Trackballs are computer pointers resembling an inverted mouse. The pointing ball is rotated with the thumb, fingers, or the palm of the hand. Search by Specification | Learn More about Trackballs

Optical choppers are mechanical or electronic devices that pass and then interrupt a beam of light for a known brief interval. Optical shutters are used to control the amount of time that a light sensitive material is exposed to radiation Learn More about Optical Choppers and Optical Shutters

Information technology (IT) staffing services provide temporary or permanent workers who troubleshoot and repair computers, operate help desks, and support voice and data networks. Learn More about Information Technology (IT) Staffing Services

Optical and light microscopes use the visible or near-visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum to magnify images of objects. Search by Specification | Learn More about Optical and Light Microscopes

Optical time domain reflectometers (OTDR) measure the elapsed time and intensity of light reflected along an optical fiber. They are useful tools for locating problems in an optical network as they can compute the distance to breaks or attenuation Search by Specification | Learn More about Optical Time Domain Reflectometers

Time of flight optical sensors determine displacement and distance by measuring the time it takes light to travel from the instrument to a target and back. Search by Specification | Learn More about Time of Flight Optical Sensors

Optical sights are optical lens assemblies used for aiming a gun. Categories include telescopic sights, visible sights, and infrared sights. Learn More about Optical Sights

Optical isolators are optical devices that allow light to be transmitted in only one direction. They are most often used to prevent any light from reflecting back down the fiber, as this light would enter the source and cause feedback problems Search by Specification | Learn More about Optical Isolators

Optical spectrum analyzers (OSA) can divide a lightwave signal into its constituent wavelengths. This means that it is possible to see the spectral profile of the signal over a certain wavelength range. Search by Specification | Learn More about Optical Spectrum Analyzers

KVM switches are hardware devices that allow IT personnel to use a single keyboard, video monitor, and mouse (KVM) to control more than one computer at a time. Search by Specification | Learn More about KVM Switches
