Analog Output
The WGM701 provides a 0.5 to 7 Vdc, 0.5 V/decade log-linear signal proportional to pressure.
A) The log-linear output signal and pressure are related by the
following formulas when units of measurement is in
Torr
and
mbar:
P = 10
(volts
–
5.5)/(0.5)
V = ((0.5 X log
10
(P)) + 5.5
Where P is the pressure in Torr or mbar, and V is the output
signal in volts.
B) The log-linear output signal and pressure are related by the
following formulas when units of measurement is in
pascals:
P = 10
(volts - 4.5)/(0.5)
V = ((0.5 X log
10
(P)) + 4.5
Note: The output voltage is +10 Vdc when pressure is in the
cold cathode measurement but the cold cathode sensor has
not ignited.

The following chart shows the graphical results of table and formulas above for pressure measurements in Torr. Pressure is
plotted on the X-axis with a log scale; the output signal is plotted on the Y-axis on a linear scale.
