Dynamic Measuring Instruments and Functions

This video tutorial provides an overview of using dynamic and actual measuring instruments in a hydraulic circuit. It explains how to insert and use these instruments to extract data, plot variables, and run simulations. The video covers different categories of measuring instruments, including component, node, and differential types, and demonstrates how to insert mechanical and hydraulic instruments into a circuit. The tutorial concludes with a simulation showing the effects of torque on speed and power.
