Peak, Pulse, and Average Sensors
These sensors provide quick and easy measurements of pulse power, continuous wave power and other signals. Many of our competitors claim to measure pulse power, however you must input your duty cycle and the power is calculated based on that. Our sensors offer trigger based measurements and the pulse itself is examined giving better measurement uncertainty. There is no need to input the duty cycle to calculate pulse measurements, our sensors measure it.

Sport Sensor Range
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
