Data Acquisition, Legacy Systems and Your Intranet   Water & Wastes Digest February 2001   By Fred Noble
There are lots of parallels between the events of November 2000 and the events that take place in any factory or municipality that runs a process or monitors its effluent. The technology exists to achieve the much-talked-about six sigma (3.4 errors per million events) levels of measurement quality or process integrity. But antiquated legacy systems keep getting in the way. And, as is the case on the American political scene, it just is not that easy to replace those old methods of measuring things.
