Large Multifunction 288x96mm Panel Mounting Indicators / Controllers The new OC557 Series are 5-digit programmable multifunction indicators/controllers which feature large 57mm high green, red or yellow seven segment displays in DIN-size 288x96mm panel mounting cases. The OC557 Series are suitable for grid and mimic display mounting.Designed for connection to 0/4-20mA process input signals, or DC and AC voltages up to 300VDC, they can also be supplied for other industrial signal sources including: RTD sensors, thermistors, resistors, potentiometers or thermocouples. The measured input signal can be freely scaled, through the programming menu, between any two desired display values, for example 4…20mA input = 0…18500 display range. As well as the display scaling, the menu also configures the two set-points, averaging filter, sampling rate and display resolution. The two set points can be set within the entire display range and activate open collector transistors or mechanical relays. Two memories store the maximum and the minimum display readings and a digital filter can be used to smooth noisy signals. A tare function is available to zero the display value and the tare value remains stored when the power is switched-off. An excitation voltage is available to supply external sensors.	Comprehensive Range of Bargraph Indicators Standard and ULTRA-LARGE size bargraph meters for industrial instrument panel, mimic display or control desk requirements. Choice of specifications from simple trend indicators to sophisticated controllers: Bargraph scale lengths from 50 mm to 1000 mm. Indicators with 21 to 201 segments. Horizontal or vertical panel mount formats. Single or dual channel analogue inputs Wide choice of electrical or sensor input ranges. Scaleable in %, temperature, level, etc. Housings 75, 96, 144, 378, 746 or 1150 mm in height

AC or DC power supplies. Paper re-roll unit and protective cover accessories. Key models available from RS Components
Handheld Spectrum Analysers for Field Use B&K Precision’s new handheld spectrum analysers are compact, light weight, and cost-effective instruments for rapid and precise signal investigations in the field. Three models in the series all feature a large colour screen, extended 4hr battery life and weigh just 1.8kg. The BK-2650A covers the frequency range from 50kHz to 3.3GHz, the BK-2652A adds a built-in tracking generator and the BK-2658A extends the frequency coverage to 8.5GHz. Key features include channel / adjacent channel power, occupied bandwidth, electric and magnetic field strength measurement functions, PC software for remote control and documentation of measurement results, convenient Auto Tune function and SCPI-like remote control commands.	Compact Multi-Channel Controllers PLUS Data Logging and Recording Options The MultiCon CMC-99 series offers simultaneous measurement, indication and PID control functions for industrial process control applications, plus new data recording capabilities. Configuring the many features is easy with the touch-screen TFT colour display. Inputs, or groups of inputs, can be displayed in numeric, bargraph or graphical format. Housed in a compact 96x96mm panel mounting enclosure, they can have up to 48 analogue or digital inputs and 16 outputs. Different combinations of digital, 0/4-20mA current, 0/2-10V voltage, RTD or thermocouple temperature inputs are possible. Outputs can be logical combinations of several inputs and one input can control multiple outputs. The optional DAQ Manager software allows visualisation, archiving and printing of measurements. All versions have an RS-485 (Modbus RTU) serial port for standard communications, plus a USB host port for a keyboard or mouse and USB device port for PC communications.
Multifunction 2- and 4-Channel Recorders with Optional Built-in Printer New DAS 20 and DAS 40 series recorders feature 2- or 4-channel ‘universal’ inputs, with an optional built-in printer. Internal rechargeable battery supply gives up to 10 hours of autonomous recording. Direct recording of all channels simultaneously to the internal hard disk with a 100kHz bandwidth. Measurement functions include: voltage, current, frequency, power (with harmonic analysis) and temperature. In addition to 16-logical inputs channels and two alarm outputs. The 7-inch colour screen displays the multi-channel waveforms and is also used to set up the desired configurations for the instrument through easy-to-use on-screen menus. Ethernet and USB interfaces are provided for remote control, data transfer to a network, external storage media or a PC for archiving and further analysis.	Arbitrary Generators - Making Waves A new series of arbitrary function generators is available from Metrix Electronics.They can generate standard or user-defined waveforms with crystal-controlled sampling rates up to 125MHz , a 14-bit vertical resolution and up to 4 million horizontal points. Uses include signal simulation and test in many industrial, laboratory and service applications. Customised waveforms can be created from scratch, or by editing standard waveforms. A PC Arbitrary waveform editor program allows the user to create, edit and download complex waveforms, while multiple waveforms can be stored in flash memory. Three models offer standard 31, 40 or 50MHz; sine, square, ramp or pulse waveforms outputs. A fourth model has dual channel 50MHz outputs to operate independently or in sum mode to create more complex waveforms.
