|
| ||
| Measurement Range | Range of distance measurement, or maximum distance measured. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Accuracy | Accuracy describes the percent deviation from the actual/real value of the measurement. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Linearity | Linearity is the maximum deviation from direct proportionality between the distance measured and the output distance over the measuring range. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Operating Temperature | The temperature range over which the device must operate. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||

|
|
| ||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Conductive Plastic | Resistive element is conductive plastic. | ||
| Wire Wound | Resistive element is wire wound. | ||
| Other Potentiometer Type | Resistive element is neither conductive plastic nor wire wound. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||

| Output | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Voltage | Output voltage is a simple (usually linear) function of the measurement. | ||
| Current | Often called a transmitter. A current is imposed on the output circuit proportional to the measurement. Feedback is used to provide the appropriate current regardless of line noise, impedance, etc. Useful when sending signals over long distances. | ||
| Frequency | The output signal is encoded via amplitude modulation (AM), frequency modulation (FM), or some other modulation scheme, but the signal is still analog in nature. | ||
| Resistance | An output consisting of a simple change in resistance, typically for a magnetoresistive device. | ||
| Switched / Alarm | An "output" of a change in state of switches or alarms. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
| |||
| Interface | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Serial | A standard digital output protocol (serial) such as RS232, etc. | ||
| Parallel | A standard digital output protocol (parallel) such as IEEE488, etc. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
