Computers (general) / industrial computers, statistical process control
English term or phrase: Gauge (see context please)
In the description of the products of a company, the term "gauge" appears many times. The sell machines for Statistical Process Control in factories. I searched all ProZ previous questions, but am in doubt regarding exact meaning.
Examples:

The XXZ Quad Port offers 4 inputs for 4 simultaneous XXZ GAUGES.

The XXX workstations provide the real-time data, connectivity and multiple GAUGE interfaces.

There are interfaces to ESW testers and E3 amplifiers. Information from these GAUGES flows automatically to the XX system without associate intervention.

It accomplishes this by serving as a conduit between any type of gauge or machine input.

Is it something like "medidor" / "indicador"?
Could you please give me a hand?
Thanks in advance!!

medidores
Explanation:
Concuerdo con Vilar en que puede ser indicadores.
Sin embargo, es posible que estas máquinas sean una especie de ordenador con una pantalla (este sería el indicador) en la que se visualizan los diferentes resultados del procesamiento de los datos recibidos a través de los medidores (gauges) para el control estadístico.

gauge (see context please)
calibre


Explanation:


DSL modems follow the data rate multiples established by North American and European standards. In general, the maximum range for DSL without repeaters is 5.5 km (18,000 feet). As distance decreases toward the telephone company office, the data rate increases. Another factor is the gauge of the copper wire. The heavier 24-gauge wire carries the same data rate farther than 26 gauge wire. If customers live beyond the 5.5 kilometer range, they may still be able to have DSL if the phone company has extended the local loop with optical fiber cable. As these fiber-based digital loop carrier systems become commercially available, telephone companies can offer virtually ubiquitous access in a relatively short time.
