Understand AstroNova, Inc.: how it makes money

AstroNova designs and sells specialty printers and data acquisition and analysis systems, making money through its Product Identification line (printers plus related label materials and consumables) and its Test and Measurement line (systems sold as part of its two reporting segments).
