The AK Protocol is a text-based ASCII communication protocol created by Emerson Process Management (Rosemount Analytical) to control and monitor industrial gas analyzers. Since then, it has been adopted by other manufacturers such as M&C TechGroup, being widely used in industrial environments and analysis laboratories. Its main function is to
The GPIB, also known as IEEE 488, is a short-range digital parallel communication bus widely used in laboratory, scientific, and industrial environments. It was initially developed by Hewlett-Packard in the 1960s and later standardized by the IEEE as a reliable interface for communication between computers and measurement instruments. Even with
Data acquisition boards, known as DAQ (Data Acquisition), are fundamental devices in test and measurement automation. They allow the conversion of physical signals – such as temperature, pressure, current, voltage, or vibration – into digital data that can be processed, analyzed, and stored by software. These boards are widely used
The FPY (First Pass Yield), or First Pass Yield, is a fundamental indicator of the efficiency and quality of a test or production process. It measures the percentage of units that pass the test on the first attempt, without the need for rework, repetition, or correction. Why is FPY important?

The LIN, acronym for Local Interconnect Network, is a serial communication bus mainly used in the automotive industry to connect low-complexity sensors and actuators. It was developed as a simpler and more economical alternative to CAN, ideal for applications that do not require high speed or bandwidth. It is a
The IATF 16949 is one of the most important quality standards for the global automotive industry. Published by the International Automotive Task Force (IATF), it integrates the requirements of ISO 9001 with specific demands of the automotive sector, focusing on continuous improvement, defect prevention, and reduction of variations and waste.
