Device Classification




   Device Classification       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Sensor
 
     By our definition, a sensor is a transducer, its output is meant for processor, controller or data acquisition system. No display or user interface is present. If you desire a switch, choose this option.
 
   Sensor System
 
     By our definition, a sensor system has more capability than a transducer. The unit may have a display and/or a user interface. If you desire a simple gauge, a locally programmable unit (stand-alone) or a controller/totalizer, choose this option.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
Performance Specifications




   Operating Distance Range:
 
     The absolute maximum range over which the device can provide sensible readings.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
           
   Allowable Sensor Over-Range
 
     Overrange specification limits the range of matching products to the specified range multiplied by a selected overrange factor. This keeps returned matches close to the range requirement and filters out products with a wider range than needed. "From", "To", and "Overrange" must all be specified to activate this option.

Example: User specifies a sensor with a range from 0-100. Without overrange specification, sensors with ranges of 0-100, 0-1000, and -10,000 to +10,000 are returned as matches. An overrange specification of 50% will filter out any sensors with a full scale range greater than 150.
 

   Search Logic:      Matching products will have a range within the specified overrange limit.
   Repeatability:
 
     The repeatability you desire of the device.
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value less than or equal to the specified value.
   Various ranges can be selected while device is in field?
 
     Select this option if you desire the device to be field adjustable.
 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Accuracy:
 
     The accuracy you require of the device.
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value less than or equal to the specified value.
Additional Specifications




   Resistance Value Range:
 
     The resistive output range of a magneto resistive detector is an indication of the full range of output values expected for the full range of input values.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Resistance Tolerance:
 
     The "resolution" of the measured resistance value.
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value less than or equal to the specified value.
   Minimum Target Diameter:
 
     Due to the technology utilized, the device requires a minimum target.
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
   Interface Options:      Listed are various interface options to facilitate the communication of position information.
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Serial digital signal interface
 
     (i.e., RS232, RS422)
 
   Parallel digital signal
 
     (i.e., PC parallel printer port, GPIB etc.)
 
   Digital signal interface other than parallel or serial
 
     (i.e., discrete signals, special TTL)
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
   User Interface Options:      By our definition, a sensor system has either display and/or user interface options. Among interface options are simple visual indicators and complex video displays.
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Analog Front Panel
 
     Has analog user inputs such as potentiometers, dials, switches etc.
 
   Digital Front Panel
 
     Setup or program through the front panel using digital keypad & displays, menus etc.
 
   Computer Controllable
 
     Can be controlled remotely with a computer via interface.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
