PORTABLE SHOULD DESCRIBE WHERE YOU CAN MEASURE. NOT WHAT YOU HAVE TO GIVE UP.

Measurement confidence is earned by evidence.

For a portable system, the useful questions are specific:

What reference was used? Which operating conditions and measurement ranges were evaluated? How repeatable were the results? What happened during transient operation? Was the complete sampling, flow and data configuration assessed? Can the reported results be traced to the underlying measurements?

Correlation is part of that conversation. It also needs context: agreement, bias, response behavior and the conditions of the comparison all matter.

Across this series, we have explored one principle: field measurement depends on a complete engineering system and evidence suited to its intended use.

The lab sets the standard. Our engineering challenge is to take that confidence into the field.

SOMETIMES THE BEST PEMS IDEA DOESN’T COME FROM PEMS.

A useful engineering question can begin outside your own industry.

How does aerospace approach vibration? How does medical instrumentation balance compactness with measurement needs? How do industrial controls coordinate sensing? How do portable power systems manage limited energy?

These are places to look for principles, not shortcuts.

For portable emissions measurement, a promising idea still has to be adapted to the sampling path, operating environment, calibration strategy, service needs and data requirements of the application.

Then it has to be evaluated as part of the complete measurement system.

That is the mindset behind this week’s 3DATX conversation: stay curious about different approaches, and stay disciplined about demonstrating that they work for the measurement task.

Observe. Adapt. Engineer. Validate.

What engineering principle from another industry would you like to see explored more deeply in field measurement?

SMALLER ISN’T THE INNOVATION. MAKING SMALLER WORK IS.

A compact enclosure is visible. The engineering that makes it useful often is not.

In portable emissions measurement, sample transport affects response. Thermal behavior affects stability. Exhaust flow contributes to mass calculations. Power choices shape operating time. Packaging affects heat rejection and service access.

Those decisions interact. Their data must also remain synchronized.

That is why miniaturization is a systems engineering problem.

At 3DATX, the design question is: how can we reduce the burden of field measurement while preserving the capability needed for the task?

The answer has to be assessed across the complete configuration and intended operating conditions. Size alone cannot establish measurement performance.

A smaller system creates value when it makes a useful measurement workflow easier to deploy, operate and maintain.

Which design tradeoff deserves more attention in portable systems: thermal control, power, sample handling or serviceability?

ENOUGH TALK ABOUT AI. LET'S PUT SOFTWARE TO WORK.

More than a decade ago, we founded 3DATX with a vision embedded in our name:

3D = Three-Dimensional
DAT = Data
X = Unit of Measure

Our goal was to connect the many dimensions of fuel and engine performance.

Emissions. Energy. Efficiency. Economics. And beyond.

Not simply collecting data, but understanding the relationships between measurements and using that knowledge to drive better engineering decisions.

Today, that vision is becoming reality.

Introducing vTRAQ® 5.0.

An evolving software platform designed to transform real-world measurement data into meaningful engineering intelligence.

And we're just getting started.

Less talk. More technology.

Watch our 30-second preview. https://www.3datx.com/vtraq/

More is coming next week. Stay tuned.

From the inception of PEMS to PEMS 2.0

Earlier this week at ASME DRIVN 2026, 3DATX Founder David Miller, who has been developing and deploying portable emissions measurement technology since the earliest of days of PEMS nearly three decades ago, presented a look at where real-world emissions measurement is headed next.

PEMS 2.0: smaller, smarter, connected systems delivering defensible real-world emissions and carbon data at scale.

From helping pioneer PEMS to advancing its next generation, 3DATX continues to push real-world measurement forward.

Another successful parSYNC® FLEX training session completed at 3DATX headquarters in Buffalo, New York!

This week, we welcomed customers to our Buffalo facility for comprehensive parSYNC® FLEX Mini-PEMS training, led by 3DATX’s Matthew Berry.

The training combined classroom instruction with hands-on system setup, operation, data acquisition, and real-world in-vehicle testing, giving participants experience with the complete process from preparing the equipment to collecting data on the road.

As emissions testing continues to move beyond the laboratory and into real-world applications, we believe training and field experience are just as important as the technology itself. Our goal is to make sophisticated portable emissions measurement practical, repeatable, and deployable in the field.

Congratulations to our newest 3DATX-trained parSYNC FLEX users, and thank you for spending time with us in Buffalo!

Heritage matters. But heritage alone doesn’t move an industry forward.

For decades, portable emissions measurement was defined by what the available technology could do.

Today, the question should be different:

What can the technology do NOW?

At 3DATX, we didn’t set out to recreate yesterday’s PEMS in a smaller box. We started with a different architecture and asked what real-world emissions measurement should look like for the vehicles, regulations, data requirements, and development programs of today.

That means:
• High-frequency data acquisition, up to 10 Hz
• Compliance-grade performance engineered for 40 CFR 1065 and GTR-15 applications
• Open, integration-ready architecture
• Compact systems designed for real-world deployment
• Traceable, repeatable data engineers and regulators can defend
• New technology backed by new intellectual property

There is tremendous value in experience. But in a technology industry, experience should lead to innovation, not become a reason to stop innovating.

So perhaps the question isn’t: “How long have they been doing it?”

Perhaps it’s: “What have they built lately?”

The industry moves forward. So do we.

3DATX Corporation: Innovation that matters. New technology. Better outcomes.

Not all PEMS claims are created equal.

Small is important. But small alone isn’t the standard.

Real-world emissions measurement demands more than portability. It demands accuracy, repeatability, traceability, robust data synchronization, and an architecture designed for the regulatory environment in which the data will actually be used.

At 3DATX, we didn’t set out to simply make PEMS smaller.

We set out to make compliance-grade measurement practical in the real world.

That means designing around the requirements of 40 CFR Part 1065 and GTR-15, while building systems compact enough for applications ranging from small engines and L-category vehicles to light-duty, heavy-duty, off-road and other challenging platforms.

Because published research is not the same as regulatory qualification.

Low cost is not the same as low total cost.

And lightweight does not automatically mean accurate.

The question isn’t how small a PEMS can be.
The question is what you can prove with the data it produces.

That’s the 3DATX difference.

Small enough for the application. Rigorous enough for the standard.

Everyone is talking about AI.

AI, machine learning, and predictive analytics are transforming vehicle development, emissions testing, fleet management, and carbon reduction.

But every model, dashboard, and algorithm depends on one thing:

The quality of the underlying measurements.

At 3DATX, we believe that better engineering decisions begin with better engineering data.

That's why we've invested years in developing compliance-grade portable emissions measurement systems, modular measurement architecture, cloud-connected analytics, and engineering tools designed to produce data that researchers, OEMs, regulators, and fleet operators can trust.

Because better measurements improve every algorithm.
