How technology choices are made
Component and architecture decisions follow the application—not a fixed shopping list of preferred chips.
Match the measurement
Sensor interfaces, sampling rates, and conditioning come before brand preferences. The measurement defines much of the architecture.
Respect power and environment
Field, laboratory, and industrial settings impose different constraints on power, connectors, thermal behavior, and enclosure design.
Design for integration
Firmware, storage formats, and communication paths are planned with the hardware so the finished system remains coherent and maintainable.
