Telemetry Applications in the Earthmoving Industry

Advances in telemetry have produced techniques for the observation of phenomena that were not previously amenable to mensuration. An analysis of types of sensors such as mechanical, generator, resistive, and reactive is presented together with data pertaining to their operation. Means of transmitting and recording sensor data are also evaluated. Improvements in telemetry indicate that future testing equipment will be simpler, more reliable, and will operate with a greater degree of accuracy.
