Bar graph for better panel displays
A graphical representation of a measurement is often valuable in allowing quick accurate decisions to be made, so AIC has added a bar-graph display option to their range of panel instrumentation.
A monitoring instrument with a bar-graph display can provide a reference with a greater impact than figures alone Amalgamated Instrument Co Pty Ltd has added another option to the range of displays available for their panel mounted instrumentation

New DIN rail pH Monitor has advanced features
The RM4-PH DIN rail unit from Amalgamated Instruments accepts input from all conventional pH electrodes and also from a temperature sensor, for compensation
The new display has a 5 digit numerical readout plus a 20 segment bar-graph display.
The new display also features keypads for configuration and programming and annunciator LEDs for alarm/set-point relays.
The keypads are "domed" to give good tactile feedback in operation.
The 5 digit numerical display allows for greater flexibility to display higher values or allow for more decimal places.
The alarm annunciator LEDs are linked to configurable set-point relays and light when a set-point condition exists.
The new display has capacity to annunciate up to 4 set-point relays.
The bar graph and the digit display can be separately configured.
This means, for example, that the graphical display can indicate a percentage value and the numerical display can indicate the actual value in engineering units.
A good example is to have the bar-graph show "Percentage Full" of a storage tank with the numerical display showing the actual litres (for example) in the tank.
Several display options for the bar-graph are programmable including "single dot", "double dot" or "solid bar".
The addition of this display, to the already large range of display options, means that customers can now choose the right display for their panel mount instrumentation applications.
