In conjunction with the New England District,
US Army Corps of Engineers, Sutron has developed
two new software input blocks for the XPert Datalogger series. The blocks
support several third-party vibrating wire
interfaces and multiplexers. An XPert can
now act as a stand-alone logger for a network
of piezometers, or can act as a concentrator,
relaying data to other system XPerts for
telemetry back to a central location.
INTERFACING TO VIBRATING WIRES
Sutron now offers a family of solutions
for connecting vibrating wires to our loggers.
XPert blocks are available to support:
- GEOKON Model 8020-51 vibrating wire
to voltage converter (single wire with
or without thermistor)
- Canary
Systems VW DSP serial vibrating wire
interface (two wires, with or without
thermistors)
- Canary
Systems MiniMux used in conjunction
with the VW DSP or 8020-51 for up to 32
wires, or 16 wire/thermistor pairs. The
MiniMux can also be used alone for non-vibrating
wire sensors. The VW DSP supports multiple
MiniMuxes, allowing the user to connect
very large wire networks to an XPert.
