See the measurement in the real world
From WindObserver on aircraft landing systems and MaxiMet on solar farms to WindSonic at Glastonbury and an autonomous ship crossing the Atlantic, Gill’s application notes show how measurement technology has been applied in demanding real-world environments.
What you will find
See how the measurement works in practice
A specification tells you what an instrument can measure. An application note shows what that measurement looks like when it has to work in the field.
The collection covers applications across Gill’s key markets and technologies, giving engineers a way to explore deployments that share similar environmental conditions, measurement requirements or system constraints.
Examples drawn from actual Gill deployments, including named customers and specific installation environments.
Understand what needed to be measured, where the measurement was taken and what the application demanded from the instrument.
See which Gill technology was used and how it was configured for the application.
Explore the environmental, installation and integration considerations that shaped the final measurement approach.
