An ideal pressure scanner for areas where space is limited
The picoDAQ (photo) is this company’s smallest digital pressure scanner, built to fit into even the most confined testing environments. Measuring 83.4 × 14.8 × 9.6 mm, the picoDAO is ideal for high-accuracy pressure testing in applications where space is limited but precision remains critical, the company says. Despite its ultra-compact size, the picoDAQ retains its measurement capabilities, delivering up to 0.03% FS accuracy output. As a fully configurable smart pressure scanner, the new device can output pressure data in engineering units over Ethernet and CAN, using both CAN-FD and ‘classic’ CAN. The picoDAQ makes use of 17 absolute transducers, which are thermally compensated and conditioned to provide 16 absolute or differential measurements relative to the one reference port. — Chell Instruments, North Walsham, U.K.
