          Versatile digital pressure
          measurement



          A pressure
          measurement system from ESI Technology can set u quickly without
          the need for wiring, separate power supplies or signal conditioning
          equipment, providing a convenient solution for your measurement
          tasks.

          

          
Pressure transducers
          are available with many digital outputs. By far the most popular
          is the USB (Universal Serial Bus). It is the ideal digital interface
          for connection of devices to desktop and laptop computers and
          other digital measurement instrumentation.



          A USB interface provides a connection for communication and powering
          of digital pressure transducers. A cable providing a low DC supply
          voltage is used to transfer data from the sensor to your desktop.



          The Genspec Dynamic USB Transducer, or the GD4200, is a digital
          pressure measurement system from ESI Technology, comprising of
          a pressure transducer and software, which can be up and running
          very quickly without the need for wiring, separate power supplies
          or signal conditioning instrumentation. Live pressure measurement
          readouts are displayed on the screen of your laptop or PC. Up
          to 16 pressure inputs can be connected and monitored at the same
          time. Whether you are looking to perform test and calibration,
          spot checks or local, direct monitoring, the GD4200USB is the
          convenient solution.



          Available in ranges to 5,000 bar, and with a selectable sample
          rate up to 1,000 readings per second (1,000Hz), all potential
          pressure fluctuations can be easily captured and recorded.The
          speed of response is typically limited by the sensing technology
          or the signal conditioning electronics.

          




          The beauty of the GD4200 is that Silicon-on-Sapphire (SOS) sensing
          technology is at the core of the product. Pressure sensors constructed
          using SOS exhibit exceptional performance and outstanding stabilityThe
          sapphire substrate allows the sensor to operate over a very wide
          temperature range without loss of performance due to its outstanding
          insulation properties.The SOS sensor element is then bonded to
          a titanium diaphragm instead of traditional stainless steel.
          High overpressures, very low hysteresis and great corrosion resistance
          are the result, A very quick microprocessor provides lots of
          data points from the SOS pressure sensor, and a signal conditioning
          module rationalises the electrical signal and converts it to
          one which is a commonly used standard within a particular industry
          or application.



          In addition to measuring and recording pressure the GD4200-USB
          also charts and collects temperature data for analysis by the
          user All of your data can be presented as a test certificate
          using the ESI-USB software, complete with your own test parameters
          and company logos.
