Developments in handheld control for robots
Hand held control for robots is taking a quantum leap forward with the development of a range of next generation application software devices, based on the Microsoft.NET Compact Framework
The Virtual Standard innovative contribution to metrology is based on its proprietary algorithms for setting individual adjustments in measured devices to compensate for probable errors and bring higher accuracy (as much as 3 to 6 times improvement) to the measured value.
The system decreases both random and systematic errors, and has been proven by hundreds of experiments in flow metering and in the measurement of pressure, temperature, electrical values, electrical consumption metering, frequency, and laser radiation power.
The technology is applicable not only to new measurement and control systems, but also to existing measurement equipment, where it can be applied for improved calibration and for testing of components and of the total system.
It can be applied remotely by interfacing special client software to a remote data processing centre via the Internet, or through a PC compatible USB device, or with an embedded chip.
The system offers two major benefits.
First is Reduced cost or added value.
Using Virtual Standards-enabled measurement equipment can deliver accuracy equivalent to that of instruments costing up to 50% again as much.
Secondly, Flexibility in application, even in extreme environments.
The system is designed for field measurement, eliminating the need to bring equipment to a lab for testing.
This includes providing highly accurate measurements in extreme environments, including those which otherwise tend to limit the lifetime and stability of sensor performance.
The enhanced performance overcomes many of the problems associated with equipment size, delivering a unique accuracy/stability/size/weight ratio.
This is enabled because the only physical weight and size is that of the math algorithm! Virtual Standards invites inquiries from manufacturers and users of test and measurement equipment, software developers, and test and calibration laboratories both independent and in industry.
