Basically, Monte Carlo is an automated trial and error method. To get the most optimum values it will take a lot of steps.
A Genetic Algorithm usually gives you the result faster, especially if you have many variables to deal with.
I prefer 4-20 mA for following reasons :
- it is less vulnerable against noise and voltage drop along the wire, especially for long distance.
- the current signal can be converted easily to 1-5V by simply fitting a 250Ohm resistor.
- you can use smart devices with HART technology which have a...
