What you don’t know can hurt you! Taking measurements on electrical circuits can be made less hazardous by using the proper test equipment the correct way. Electrical measurement tools like digital multimeters, electrical testers, oscilloscopes and even test leads must be properly rated for the intended task.  Everyone in our business needs to be informed or reminded of safe measurement practices and who best to do it than the industry leader in testing instruments.

Dr Tim Pauly, President, Myriax Inc.,
2877 Historic Decatur Rd. Suite 400, San Diego, Ca 92106

Tim will present some background and an overview to Myriax’s data fusion project, and demonstrate the emerging 4D visualization and data fusion capabilities of the new Eonfusion application.

We aim to enhance the excitement of discovery that visualization brings to data analysis, to provide a suite of tools that makes the interesting absolutely fascinating and the mundane easy, and ultimately to offer ‘inter-ocular traumatic impact’ - understanding that hits…
