Monitran launches the MTN/DSPD-40 programmable eddy current probe driver

High Wycombe, United Kingdom – 30th July 2007 - Monitran, a world leader in the development and manufacture of sensors and systems for vibration and displacement measurement, has launched the MTN/DSPD-40, an innovative and extremely versatile eddy current probe driver.

Unlike traditional eddy current probe drivers, which are typically purely analogue and which have to be manually ‘tuned’ to the application, the MTN/DSPD-40 is fully programmable. Internal memory contains two calibration tables, used to tune the sensor for use with specific materials, for example, carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminium. Users can also load their own tables via the driver’s RS485 serial port, or supply Monitran with samples of the material to be tested and its engineers will create the tables.

Bob Pickard, Monitran’s Technical Director, comments: “We believe the MTN/DSPD-40 is the most advanced and cost-effective eddy current probe driver on the market. No other driver offers similar flexibility.”

The driver has a multimode power supply and multimode analogue output, set by the user. Data collection and parameter selection can be through any standard terminal program and the driver has selectable filtering.
