Rotronic has launched a new generation of humidity and temperature instrumentation that the company believes sets a new standard of measurement capability. Based on a new custom ASIC - the AirChip3000, HygroClip2 is Rotronic’s second generation of digital humidity and temperature instruments and takes advantage of the rapid development in semiconductor technology.
Relative humidity (%rh) can be measured with the highest possible accuracy. This is achieved by the AirChip’s capability to provide 30,000 measurement reference points across the instrument’s range. Combined with an unlimited number of calibration input values, this means that the HygroClip2’s measurement response can be adjusted to match a calibration reference exactly. Then, by using an internal referencing method, any sensor instability is identified, and if required by the user, automatically compensated. The combined result is a measurement capabilty of ±0.5 %rh when adjusted against accredited calibration references.
Every measurement probe has an integral 2,000 data point memory; in effect every probe is in itself a datalogger. Measurement data is communicated digitally to a wide range of instruments, including hand-helds, data loggers, transmitters, meteorological probes, water activity analysers and calibrators. Being digital, probes are 100% interchangeable without any adjustment required, ensuring maximum flexibility. Instrument configuration and functionality is made using Rotronic’s own validated HW4 software.
