Ashcroft unveils the Heise DXD digital pressure transducer

The Heise DXD digital pressure transducer delivers the benefits of digital communication at a bargain price. The instrument is now available with a LabVIEW driver and a LabVIEW-based utility software that allows the user to address, configure and monitor one or more DXDs.

The DXD is offered in ranges from vacuum through 7500 psi and features an accuracy of ±0.02% of full span, which includes the effects of temperature. With update rates of up to 15 mS, dozens of DXDs can communicate with a single PC serial port at speeds of up to 115K bps via full-duplex RS232 or RS485 communication protocol.

The Heise DXD features wetted materials and a rugged enclosure made of 300 series stainless steel, designed to stand up to a variety of process media and environments.
