American Analog Company, Inc. has a collaborative engineering team of experts who can create the best possible solution for your application challenge.

One of the best examples of American Analog’s engineering capabilities was the development of a
Digital Safety Multimeter for a major oil field service company. In this application our team engineered a custom multimeter that enabled our customer to check the continuity and capacitance of a detonator circuit, protected by an intrinsically safe barrier, before the customer sends the explosives downhole. The challenge was to overcome the “knee” of the barrier to measure the circuit on the other side of the barrier, and to minimize the current to just 20 mADC or less generated by the meter in any condition - even failure. We also provided triple redundant protection to insure that the meter does not generate more than 20 mADC in any failure mode. In addition to these special features, it also had to operate as a fully functional multimeter.

Our design team starts by getting a clear understanding of your technical requirements, timeline, and price point. Direct dialog in real time is key. Site visits with your operations team, engineers, technical buyers, and management are mandatory for grasping every complexity of your unique needs and parameters. Together, we work to shape the desired solution.

Our engineers then collaborate with our manufacturing experts to create the product that solves your application challenge.

Only after you declare all specifications satisfied do we move, where requested, into final and/or full-scale production.
