Paroscientific Intelligent Transmitters consist of a Digiquartz®
Pressure Transducer and a digital interface board in an
integral package. Commands and data requests are sent via
two-way RS-232 or RS-485 serial interfaces. Direct digital
outputs in engineering units are provided with parts-per
billion resolution using the built-in, anti-aliasing IIR filter
mode. Typical accuracy is 0.01% even under harsh
environmental conditions. All intelligent transmitters are
preprogrammed with calibration coefficients for full plug-in
interchangeability.
Intelligent transmitters are available in 20 absolute pressure
ranges from 15 psia (0.10 MPa) to 40,000 psia (276 MPa),
and 7 gauge pressure ranges from ± 2 psig (±0.015 MPa) to
200 psig (0.15 MPa). Dual RS-232 and RS-485 interfaces
allow complete remote configuration and control of all
operating parameters, including resolution, sample rate,
choice of engineering units, integration time, and sampling
requests. Commands include: Single sample and send,
synchronized sample and hold, continuous sample and send,
and special burst sampling modes.
Features include support for both serial loop and multi-drop
networking, high-speed continuous pressure measurements,
selectable baud rates up to 115,200 baud, synchronization of
measurements with time-based integration, 2 or 4 wire RS
485 transmission distances greater than 1 kilometer, a power
management “sleep” mode, data formatting features, and
unit identification commands.
Free software is included for setup, configuration, sampling,
display, data logging, and plotting.
All Digiquartz® Transducers come with a limited 5-year
warranty with the first 2 years covered at 100%.
