Standard sensor (V5)
8.1 Standard sensor (V5)
ALMEMO

V5 sensors are housed in a light-gray case. The source of their intel-
ligence is an 2-KB EEPROM integrated in the sensor plug, in which all channel
settings are stored; the device is thus programmed completely as soon as such
a sensor is connected. With the newer V6 version incorporating a 4-KB EEP-
ROM (E4) multi-point calibration can be performed on the sensor. Digital sen-
sors used for the quantities - frequency, pulse, or DIGI - incorporate a microcon-
troller, which transfers digital signals to the device via an I2C bus. Measured
values are processed in synchrony with the sampling rate and at a resolution of
maximum ±65000 all in the device.
8.2 D6 sensors

D6 sensors are housed in a partly light-gray, partly dark-gray case;
they are completely autonomous measuring modules not only for digital but also
for analog sensors; they can, independently of the device, handle new measur-
ing ranges with special measured value processing and various forms of com-
pensation. As regards measured value processing D6 sensors are fully compati-
ble with standard sensors - except for multi-point calibration and smoothing;
however, on this V7 device, quantity configuration and parametrization can be
performed via the 'Sensor configuration' menu or using a USB adapter cable di-
rectly on the PC (s. 15.10).
8.3 D7 sensors

D7 sensors are housed in a dark-red case; they too are completely
autonomous measuring modules for digital and for analog sensors - but offer
substantially enhanced properties. The sampling rate can be set from 1 mil-
lisecond up to several minutes with a resolution up to 8 digits. The number of
channels has, thanks to a new numbering scheme, been extended up to 10 per
sensor and up to 10000 per device. Channel designations can be up to 20
characters and units up to six characters in length. With D7 sensors up to four
primary channels can also be smoothed at the same time internally over the
averaging period. For the purpose of setting individual parameters (e.g. quan-
tities, averaging period) a special menu ´Sensor configuration´ is provided by
the sensor itself. (s. 15.10) All measured value processing is performed in the
sensor itself; the resulting data is transferred no longer via an I2C bus but via a
serial interface to the device. For this reason and because of the expanded
data format D7 sensors can only be operated in conjunction with a V7 device
or directly on a PC.
