Transducer Control 5 User Manual (RWT3746IM)
Revision 5, December 2016 - Page 3
Introduction
Transducer Control is an all-round application to unlock the advanced functionality of
the ORT/RWT Series Transducers. Transducer Control enables the user to exploit
the flexibility of the advanced transducer series by configuring the run time
parameters of the transducer to best suit their application.
Transducer Control gives the user complete control of the dual channel analog output
by allowing adjustment of the output voltage scaling, zero voltage, data scaling and
data assignment. On the digital side the user can control the digital filtering level,
adjust the RS232 baud rate and configure the limit controls.
As well as configuring the transducer, Transducer Control can also be used as a
readout, providing a simple text display that shows torque, speed and power along
with peak values and zero control.
Compatible Models
Advanced models from the ORT240, RWT320, RWT340, RWT420 and RWT440
Series Transducers are compatible with Transducer Control 5. Transducers must be
running firmware version 3 or higher.
The compatible models are listed below:
Transducer Family Model Range Models
Optical (ORT) ORT240 ORT240/ORT241
Rayleigh Wave (RWT)
RWT320 RWT320/RWT321/RWT322
RWT340 RWT340/RWT341/RWT342
RWT420 RWT420/RWT421/RWT422
RWT440 RWT440/RWT441/RWT442
Compatible transducers can be identified by the presence of a status LED and serial
number greater than 12200.
