Advanced sensors seminar looks at multiplexing and NDT

A report from a seminar on advanced sensing held on 9th November 1993 as part of the DTI Advanced Sensors Technology Programme [ASTTP]. The first subject covered was multiplexing for control systems and looked at the present diversity of bus systems supporting field devices from the viewpoint of sensor manufacturers, users and researchers. Another presentation relating to multiplexing of sensors, looked at a project for water quality measurement. The second topic was sensing in relation to non‐destructive testing, dealing mainly with new market opportunities in the food industry, the aircraft industry and civil engineering.
