Rotary Hall Effect Sensor
-
The output of the Rotary Hall-effect sensor is a voltage which changes in direct proportion to the shaft angle. The sensor is non-contact, using Hall elements to determine the angle of a magnet. The magnet is either mounted in a shaft integral to the sensor or can be mounted externally to the sensor.

Data Loggers
-
The unit can acquire data from on-board interfaces at rates of up to 10 kilosamples per second, and from remote units via communications links. A high-performance on-board PowerPC microprocessor offering over 1000MIPS processing power hosts customer applications for real-time data analysis. Application code may be autocoded using our Graphical Development Environment (GDE) from Matlab/Simulink control modules. Data is logged to 2GB of on-board Flash memory and downloaded for analysis via a Gigabit Ethernet network connection.

Accelerometers
-
The unit is based on micro machined MEMS technology. The unit contains a 35g sensing element. The element is scaled to optimise the resolution to suit the g range of interest. An internal amplifier provides an output between 0 and 5 volts. The on board microcontroller and temperature sensor are used for offset drift compensation. This unit can be re-calibrated at the factory.

Product
Temperature Sensors
-
The infrared sensor measures temperature at a distance without contacting the target. The integrated infrared module senses the thermal radiation emitted by objects on a 16 x 4 array of sensing points, for measuring the temperature distribution across a surface. These 64 measurement pixels are transmitted via CAN to the host controller or data logging device. The sensor is available in both 35 and 60 field of view options to suit a variety of installations. A software package is provided for viewing live temperature data from the array.

Product
Electronic Control Units
-
Self-contained engine management system and data logger for race engines up to eight cylinders. The unit is complete with integrated ignition and injection drivers and so needs no external units to run an engine.

Product
Ignition Driver Units
-
A compact inductive ignition drive unit which drives two banks of five ignition coils. The drivers are controlled via direct logic signals from a host ECU and provide fire-by-fire diagnostics back to that unit via CAN. The coils can be run at voltages up to 30V with this unit in order to minimize dwell times for optimum response.

Calibration Software
-
System Monitor is a software package for configuring and tuning automotive control systems. It has built-in support for motor sport systems and can be tailored to support third party control units.System Monitor not only allows you to tune data for your program versions, but also manages those versions on disk, allowing them to be located quickly for programming or modification

Speed Sensors
-
DHE (Differential Hall Effect) sensors give an output when subjected to a changing magnetic field. The field is set up by a magnet inside the sensor body and changes when ferromagnetic teeth are passed beneath the sensor (no magnets are required in the target). To improve noise resistance, the sensor has two Hall effect elements and only responds to changes in magnetic field strength corresponding to tooth passing frequencies above 15Hz. As each tooth passes the sensor, the digital state of the output changes.

Product
Thermocouple
-
This sensor uses a K-type Chromel/Alumel thermocouple and is intended for use in high-temperature, high-vibration environments. Control units and data loggers support K-type thermocouples. The sensor is short and compact to minimise its susceptibility to vibration.

Product
Pressure Sensors
-
The output voltage changes with the absolute pressure applied to the pressure port. The gain, offset and thermal drift of the pressure sensor is digitally compensated to minimise errors and to create a single-ended, amplified output in the 0 to 5 Volt range.

Product
Pressure Sensors
-
The output voltage of this sensor changes with absolute pressure. An internal amplifier creates a single-ended, amplified output in the 0 to 5 Volt range, so the sensor can be connected directly to most control units. The body and diaphragm are impervious to chemical attack by standard motorsport fluids.

Product
Signal Conditioning
-
The output of an inductive (magnetic reluctance) speed sensor is an alternating voltage in which both the frequency and magnitude depend on target speed. The TTL Interface Adaptor converts this voltage into a TTL logic signal whose frequency corresponds to tooth passing frequency. The magnitude of the output signal from the interface is independent of the tooth passing speed.

Torque Systems
-
The Drive Plate Torque System uses a low power radio link to transfer digitised strain measurements from a rotating wheel hub to a stationary antenna mounted nearby. The signals are passed to a receiver where they are decoded and output as CAN bus messages and analogue outputs.
