Measuring Ranges
There are corresponding measuring ranges for sensors with a non-linear
characteristic such as 10 thermocouple types, Ntc and Pt100 sensors, infrared
sensors, and flow sensors (rotating vanes, thermoanemometers, pitot tubes).
Humidity sensors are available with function channels that also calculate
humidity data such as dew point, mixture ratio, vapour pressure and enthalpy.
Even complex chemical sensors can be used. The acquisition of measured
data from other sensors is easily possible by using voltage, current and
resistance ranges with individual scaling in the connector. Existing sensors can
be used without problems. Only the corresponding ALMEMO
®
connector has to
be connected using its terminals. Furthermore, there are adapter connectors
with an own microcontroller for digital signals and for measuring frequencies
and pulses. This way, nearly all sensors can be connected to any ALMEMO
®
measuring instrument and are interchangeable without requiring any settings.
Function Channels
Maximum, minimum, average values and differences of certain measuring
junctions can be programmed as function channels and can be processed and
printed like normal measuring junctions. Furthermore, function channels for
special measuring tasks are provided to determine temperature coefficients

∆
t and wet bulb globe temperatures.
Dimension
The 2-digit dimension can be altered for each measuring channel so that the
display and the printout will always indicate the correct dimension, for example
when a transmitter is connected. The conversion from °C to °F is automatically
performed according to the dimension.
Name of Measured Values
Sensors can be identified by a 10-digit alphanumeric designation. It is entered
via the interface and appears on the printout or display if the evaluation is done
via PC.
Correction of Measured Values
For correcting measured values a zero point and slope (gain) correction can be
applied to the measured value of each measuring channel. This also allows for
sensors to be interchanged that usually, at first, require an adjustment
(expansion, force, pH). The zero point and the slope (gain) correction are
virtually performed by the push of a button.
Scaling
The base value and the factor allow for a further scaling of the corrected
measured value of each measuring channel for zero point and slope (gain).
The decimal point position can be set by the exponent.
