SM-3 Thermal Compensation Unit
Matelect manufactures the SM-3 for switching between two channels of ACPD data and automatically dividing the recorded values. This frees the user from having to attend the experiment and allows temperature normalisation during long-term tests, where it is more likely to matter.
The SM-3 switches between the two ACPD channels at a preset, variable interval. The switched signal is routed via a standard CGM-5R for processing and then routed back to the SM-3 so that a highly accurate analogue division can be performed. The resultant normalised signal can be recorded by a chart recorder or a PC via LabVIEW drivers.
Features
- Can be used stand-alone to perform thermal compensation of ACPD measurements
- Switches between channel A and B continuously, at 3.2, 8 or 16 second rates (user-selectable)
- Both analogue and digital outputs provided
- Primarily designed to work with the CGM-5R
Applications
- Thermal compensation for use with CGM-5R units
