This guide is aimed at providing a general understanding of the various types of hardware devices that form the core of information processing systems for ship and marine use. Ship and marine information processing systems require specific devices in order to perform automated tasks ...

This guide illustrates the steps and considerations involved with digital data acquisition. While analog recording of wear and friction data has been in the past, digital data acquisition and storage is used extensively. It is important that DAQ users understand how data is collected and stored a...

This guide is intended to provide standardized procedures for evaluating ultrasonic search units. It is not intended to define performance and acceptance criteria, but rather to provide data from which such criteria may be established.

These procedures are intended to evaluate the charac...

1.1 This guide describes measurement procedures for evaluating certain characteristics of ultrasonic search units (also known as "transducers") that are used with ultrasonic examination instrumentation. This guide describes means for obtaining performance data that may be used to define the acous...

1.1 This guide is intended to assist the user in the evaluation and documentation of computerized data acquisition systems used to acquire data from quasi-static tests, performed on universal testing machines. The report produced will aid in the correct use and calibration of the co...
