4.8 PRESSURE SENSOR OPTION
The FAST
tracka
is fitted with a bulkhead Auxilliary connector for connection of the Chelsea
Instruments Pressure Sensor option. The Pressure sensor is powered by the FAST
tracka
, and the
pressure signal is returned to the FAST
tracka
for measurement. The FAST
tracka
outputs pressure
readings in the range 0 to 4095. This corresponds to an analogue input range of 0 to 4095 mV.
The pressure can then be calculated from this value using the formula supplied on the Pressure
Sensor calibration sheet.
