Smart Sensors Series from Applied Microsystems Ltd. The Applied Microsystems Ltd. Smart Sensor Series is a family of pre-calibrated sensors designed to easily interface to a data collection platform. The entire series is designed to have standardized electrical, mechanical and communication features. Smart Sensors provide a low cost, high resolution, high accuracy solutions for different applications. All Smart Sensors communicate to a host data logger or computer via RS-232, TTL serial port, or multi-sensor RS-485 communication loop at data rates to 38,400 baud. Custom sensors and configurations are available for specific applications upon request. (Temperature, Pressure, Sound Velocity and Multiparameters sensors) http://www.AppliedMicrosystems.com/products.html ========================================================================= V.
