Barcodes
Different coding schemes
UPC (Universal Product Code 12digit) being
the most common, others include Codabar,
Code39, CPC Binary, EAN,PLANET,MSI,Telepen
There are even 2D barcodes

Barcode Readers

RFID
Uses Radio Frequency
instead of light to read
an ID tag
Active Tags
Passive Tags
Frequencies used:
LF : 125kHz
HF : 13.56 MHz
UHF : 860 960MHz

RFID Readers
All RFID readers constitute of a
Radio that broadcasts, in
response to which the tags
respond back with their
identification data

Instrument Calibration
Calibration: Comparing the measurement of
a device or an instrument (Device Under Test
DUT) to another that is correct and known.
This tells us if the instrument is working fine
or not and if it needs to be corrected
When devices go Out of Tolerance (OOT) they
need to be tested and recalibrated

Calibration Standards
Different instrument manufacturers have
different calibration standards
They depend on the application the
instruments are designed for
A list of calibration standards can be found on
