Design the measuring chain together
Signal conditioning, hardware and software are considered together.
Decisions need measured
values you can trust
Match signal, measuring range and resolution to your specific measuring task.
A high sampling rate alone does not make a measurement suitable. Signal type, measuring range, resolution and the entire measuring chain decide whether the quantity in question can be assessed sensibly.
IQstruct Engineering designs and develops measuring systems with suitable hardware, acquisition and analysis. Analogue signals such as 4 to 20 mA and ±10 V as well as digital levels are taken into account for each task. Where needed, custom electronics complete the measuring chain. Reference measurements and external calibration services are classified to suit the evidence required.

In a free first conversation we clarify which test steps arise, which instruments are in use and which records are required.
Scope of services
Add electronics where needed
IC selection, PCB layout and routing can be part of the solution.
Hand over the measurement traceably
The agreed hardware, software, source code, measurement data and test documents form the result.
The measuring chain to suit the task
IQstruct Engineering designs and develops measuring systems with suitable hardware, acquisition and analysis.
Analogue signals such as 4 to 20 mA and ±10 V as well as 5 V and TTL levels are taken into account for each task, single-ended or differential. Acquisition ranges from slow process values down to the microsecond range; resolutions of 8, 12 or 16 bits are derived from the measuring task.
Where needed, custom electronics complete the measuring chain. Component protection, track design and sources of interference are taken into account. Factory-calibrated components and our own measuring equipment managed in the ISO 9001 system support traceable tests.

Approach in the project
Ai1
Plan the measuring task
Signals, measured variables and test task are discussed at the electronics workstation.
Ai2
Select measuring hardware
A suitable NI system with analogue and digital modules is configured.
Ai3
Program the measuring system
The measuring sequence is developed in LabVIEW to suit the task.
Ai4
Test the electronics
Oscilloscope measurements on the test circuit prove the function.
What is used for measuring
NI CompactRIO and PXI
Measuring systems for fast acquisition with LabVIEW.
NI-DAQ
Classic data acquisition for the laboratory and test bench.
Beckhoff TwinCAT
Measurement in the real-time environment of automation.
Project experience
Testing MEMS sensors on the end-of-line test bench
For TURCK, IQstruct Engineering has developed an end-of-line test bench for MEMS sensors.
The test covers multi-axis sensors and acceleration signals, among other things. Measurement technology from National Instruments, NI TestStand and CAN bus and IO-Link communication were used.
Frequently asked questions
We are glad to answer your detailed questions in a personal conversation.
Does IQstruct Engineering carry out formal calibrations itself?
Formal calibrations are carried out by suitable external bodies. We involve them where needed.
Do you commit to a particular accuracy?
We derive measuring range, resolution and accuracy from your measuring task and prove them with the system.
What do you receive at the end?
Measuring hardware, software, circuit and assembly documents, source code, measurement data as well as test and measurement reports, depending on the agreed scope.
