Advanced Gaging Amplifier
 Edmunds Gages has introduced the advanced data analysis measurement monitor (ADAMM) that provides air-to-electronic and LVDT-based signal conditioning, data gathering, analysis and storage in one unit. According to the company, the amplifier is designed to bridge the gap between “stop light” single element amplifiers with virtually no data retention and personal computers being used on the shop floor. This eliminates the need for individual amplifiers with separate data collectors to display, record, analyze and store measurement information.
