Inverted Magnetron gauges will be discussed with particular reference to improved accuracy, increased immunity to electrical interference and their ease of interface to computers. Such gauges have a particular relevance to the implementation of large vac- uum systems such as accelerators and the design of industrial vacuum equipment.
Active vacuum gauges combine both the gauge head and signal conditioning electronics in one integrated unit. Active Pirani and
