Bilinear Analog Outputs with Arc Sensors

Bilinear analog (4 to 20mA) outputs are a feature in Arc sensors but are often not well understood. This article provides a brief description of these outputs along with some examples where they can be used.

Password Management in ArcAir

A requirement of GMP Part 11 compliance is the ability to password protect ArcAir software and Arc sensors. This brief article explores common questions related to password management in these products.

ArcAir - Laboratory vs Login Startup

ArcAir software can be started up in single-user laboratory mode or with a password-protected login mode. This brief Knowledgebase article describes the advantages of each mode and provides a short video to see the differences.

Arc Sensors - Signal Averaging

Certain applications may introduce conditions that create fluctuating or "noisy" measurements. The noisy measurement can make process control challenging. One way to improve signal stability is to adjust the moving average setting using ArcAir software.

Warnings and Errors with Arc pH / ORP Sensors
