|
| ||
| Temperature Range | The range of temperatures needed for measurement. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| Accuracy | The accuracy of the measured temperature as a percentage of the reading. | ||
| Search Logic: | All matching products will have a value less than or equal to the specified value. | ||
| Spectral Range | Near IR = 0.75-3µm, Middle IR = 3-6µm, Far IR = 6-15µm, Extreme IR = 15-30µm. | ||
| 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. | ||
| Response Time | The response time is the time it takes for the instrument to measure temperature. | ||
| Search Logic: | All matching products will have a value less than or equal to the specified value. | ||
| Responsivity | Responsivity measures the input–to-output gain - the increase in electrical output per optical input signal of a photodetector system. | ||
| 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. | ||
| Detectivity | Detectivity is a performance measure of a photodetector, equal to the reciprocal of the noise equivalent power (NEP), and normalized to unit area and unit bandwidth. Units are centimeters * Hertz ^(1/2) / Watt, also written shorthand as the "Jones" unit, in honor of the scientist who defined this magnitude. | ||
| 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. | ||
Electrical Outputs

| Electrical Outputs | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Current | Often called a transmitter. A current (4-20mA, or any other analog current output) is imposed on the output circuit proportional to the measurement. Feedback is used to provide the appropriate current regardless of line noise, impedance, etc. This output is useful when sending signals long distances. | ||
| Voltage | The output voltage is a simple (usually linear) function of the measurement. | ||
| Switch / Alarm | The output is a change in state of a switch or alarm. | ||
| Serial | The output of the transmitter sends out a serial communications signal, such as, RS-232 or RS-485. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary output. | ||
| 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. | ||
