Description:

The P545 is a standalone unit that consists of twelve transformer-isolated, two-wire channels, each of which may either acquire or drive a physical or simulated sensor winding. Individually or in groups, channels may acquire and simulate a wide range of inductive transducers including LVDTs, RVDTs, synchros, and resolvers using internal or external excitation.

P545 channels are generalized; each channel can be a signal source or a measured input. Users can also program relationships between input and output channels, allowing simulation and measurement of a wide range of inductive transducers, using internal or external excitation.
