FAQ#111 – Why I cannot read correctly my 4-20mA current loop gauge?
It could be a problem connected to the power supply given by the readout or logger. When the power supply is in the current loop (2-wire gauge) it is necessary to consider the effect of voltage drop across the shunt resistor on the voltage applied to the gauge. For example, suppose a 4-20mA gauge requires […]

FAQ#020 – Comment obtenir les meilleurs résultats avec des cellules de pression installées dans un remblai en terre?
La mesure de la pression totale en géomécanique, même s’il s’agit de l’un des paramètres les plus intéressants pour le concepteur, est généralement considérée comme peu fiable. Les observations passées rapportent un plus grand nombre d’échecs qu’avec tous les autres types de mesure. Des études théoriques réalisées par de nombreuses recherches ont mis en exergue […]
