Pressure transducer records directly onto computer

Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Jul 31, 2007

The GS4200-USB pressure transducer can measure, analyse and record pressure directly onto a computer without the need for costly I/O interface boards.

Ellison Sensors International has released the GS4200-USB digital pressure transducer.

The GS4200-USB Digital Pressure Transducer uses the same superior Silicon-on-Sapphire sensor technology, which has long been incorporated into ESI sensors for high accuracy pressure transducers used in demanding applications.

The feature of the GS4200-USB is its ability to measure, analyse and record pressure directly onto a computer without the need for costly I/O interface boards.

The transducer is powered by the computers USB port, data is presented on the PC via the ESI-USB configurable software supplied with the transducer.

It has instant connection with auto-detection, and will configure automatically with a desktop or laptop PC via the USB protocol.

The fast sample rate enables dynamic pressures to be measured with up to 21 bit resolution.

For real-time analysis, data transferred to the PC is achieved without loss of accuracy or bandwidth.

Once collated, the information can then be presented in tables or graphical form, choosing engineering units and adjusting scales.

GS4200-USB Digital Pressure Transducer is compatible with USB 1.1 and 2.0, and is fully supported by ESI-USB Windows interface software available for Windows 98, 98 SE, 2000, ME, XP and Vista.

Its precision measurement accuracy is greater than 1 in 10,000, and pressure ranges are available from 500mbar to 2000bar.
