    Re: Need Technical help from Agilent? Ask me, Bryan!

    Hi again Bryan!

    I need Environment meter, And i would prefer it to be Agilent by which we could measure the temperature (I would appreciate  if it was fairly accurate, enough to decimal degrees), humidity and, if possible, also other variables such as light intensity, noise ... see example in file-picture attached. Temperature and humidity is required. We need it for orientation/ approximate measurement, it does not have to be intended or super calibrated scale meter.measurement, it does not have to be intended or super calibrated scale.

    Does Agilent does something like this?

  • Hi Russell.

     

    Per the application example you described, the parameters that need to be measured include engine and/or wheel speed, torque and perhaps displacement. This would require speed sensors (VRS or Hall effect), strain gages and liner displacement sensors.  These sensors are readily available from various suppliers off-the-shelf, and can be selected to match the measurement requirements.  After choosing the correct sensors, the instrumentation needs to be selected to provide the sensor stimulus and make the waveform captures.  Mechanical systems need waveform capture rates in the 100kHz range (10uS) to detect mechanical events of interest. Various Agilent products can support stimulus and waveform capture for these kinds of mechanical events.

     

    I recommend looking at the following products:

    USB format:       U2300A family of products

    LXI format:         34410A/34411A DMM’s and L4534A Digitizers

    PXI format:         M9210A DAQ and M9185A DAC

     

    The following two Agilent Application Notes may help provide further insights.  Check out: 5989-8070EN for information on general Dynamometer testing, and 5989-6834EN for information strain gage measurements.

     

    Good luck.

  • Hi again Radu,

     

    Thank you for your inquiry.  It sounds like you are in need of a comprehensive environmental data acquisition system.  While Agilent does have a number of data acquisition products (e.g., 34970A, 34972A, 34980A), you would need to find and supply your own temperature sensors (thermocouple, RTD, or thermistor), as well as humidity, light, and noise sensors.  Omega Engineering, as an example, does have a temperature/humidity/barometric pressure transmitter that could be used with the Agilent 34970A. and 34972A and our Benchlink Data Logger software.  Check out:  http://www.omega.com/pptst/zED-P_Series.html.  A benefit is that it’s wireless and can interface directly to a computer.  I hope that helps.  Good luck!
