Modular Connections is the industry’s news portal and resource center for all things related to modular instrumentation. Hosted by Modular Methods, Modular Connections brings you the latest news in the industry, linking directly to world class publications and breaking news from industry leaders. Modular Connections is updated daily, and offers one-stop shopping for any news related to modular instrumentation.
In the new “Outside the Box” blog site, hosted by Test and Measurement World, Larry Desjardin adds weekly commentary and insight about modular instrumentation and other non-traditional test techniques. Links to the new blog posts will be highlighted below in yellow.
“Outside the Box” essentially replaces the previous "Modular Matters" blog. Occasionally, industry or competitive analysis may still be posted on Modular Matters, and a full archive of articles can still be found.
