Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Business Segment Information BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION 
Our Chief Executive Officer (the Chief Operating Decision Maker) regularly reviews financial information for our two operating segments, Test & Simulation and Sensors. Test & Simulation manufactures and sells testing and simulation solutions including hardware, software and services that are used by customers in product development to characterize a product's mechanical properties along with simulation systems for human response features. Sensors manufactures and sells precision sensors that provide measurements of vibration, pressure, position, force and sound in a variety of applications. 
In evaluating each segment's performance, our Chief Executive Officer focuses on income from operations. This measure excludes interest income and expense, income taxes and other non-operating items. Corporate expenses, including costs associated with various support functions such as human resources, information technology, legal, finance and accounting, and general and administrative costs are allocated to the reportable segments on the basis of revenue. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1 and Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 3, 2020.
Intersegment revenue is based on standard costs with reasonable mark-ups established between the reportable segments. All significant intersegment amounts are eliminated to arrive at consolidated financial results.
Financial information by reportable segment is as follows:
