Dissolved Oxygen Measurement




   Dissolved O2 Range
 
     The dissolved oxygen measurement range.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Accuracy
 
     The dissolved oxygen accuracy of the instrument.
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value less than or equal to the specified value.
   Dissolved Oxygen Sensor Technology       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Polarographic
 
     Polarographic sensor technology uses an external voltage. The difference in potential between the cathode and anode is less than 0.5 volts. This includes Ross and Clark polarographic types.
 
   Galvanic
 
     No external voltage is required. The difference in potential between the cathode and anode is greater than 0.5 volts. Galvanic probes are more stable and more accurate at low dissolved oxygen levels than polarographic probes. Galvanic probes often operate several months without electrolyte or membrane replacement, resulting in lower maintenance cost.
 
   Optical Fluorescence
 
     The optical fluorescence sensor does not use up oxygen during measurement, therefore it does not require stirring.  The device is extremely suitable for long-term measuring periods in groundwater. It is not sensitive to contaminants, sulfurous compounds, or aging.  The sensor has a special coating with fluorescent properties. When light is exposed to the coating it causes fluorescence.  After the exposure of light, the coating continues to produce a short afterglow. The level of oxygen present in the water determines the duration of this fluorescence or afterglow.
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary configuration.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
Instrument Specific Features / Options




   Controller?
 
     The instrument has some controller functionality (set limits, regulator, P/PI/PID, etc.).
 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Control Relays:
 
     Number of relays controlling functionality.
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
Special Instrument Type




   Mounting / Environment       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Hand Held
 
     Designed are designed to be operated while held by hand.
 
   Portable
 
     Devices have handles, a case, or wheels for ease of movement. They are not necessarily handheld.
 
   Modular
 
     Devices are modular and can be interfaced with sensors or input ranges.
 
   Lab / Benchtop
 
     Devices are designed to sit atop a bench or desktop in a laboratory. These instruments not suitable for field use.
 
   In-Situ / Field
 
     Devices can be used in a field setting, out of the laboratory.
 
   Panel
 
     Devices attach to a panel.
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary mounting environments.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
User Interface




   Display Type       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Analog Meter
 
     Analog meter indicator (needle indicator).
 
   Digital Display
 
     Display output utilizes both letters and numbers in a digital form.
 
   Video Display
 
     CRT, LCD flat panel, or other multiline display.
 
   None
 
     The instrument has no display.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
   User Controls       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Manual Controls
 
     The instrument has simple front panel or local controls such as knobs and/or potentiometers.
 
   Digital Front Panel
 
     Programmable through a digital front panel keypad.
 
   Computer Interface
 
     Programmable through a computer interface.
 
   None
 
     The instrument has no user controls.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
Output Options




   Electrical Output      The type of electrical signal that will be produced.
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Analog Voltage
 
     Any analog voltage output. Output voltage is a simple (usually linear) function of the measurement.
 
   Analog Current
 
     Often called a transmitter. A current is imposed on the output circuit proportional to the measurement. Feedback is used to provide the appropriate current regardless of line noise, impedance, etc. Useful when sending signals over long distances.
 
   Analog Frequency
 
     A format that uses continuous physical variables such as voltage amplitude or frequency variations to transmit information.
 
   Switch / Alarm Relay
 
     An "output" of a change in state of switches or alarms.
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted output type.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
   Interface Options       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Serial
 
     A standard digital output protocol (serial) such as RS232, RS422, RS485, etc.
 
   Parallel
 
     A standard digital output protocol (parallel) such as IEEE 488, etc.
 
   Other
 
     Any digital output other than the standard serial or parallel signals. Simple TTL logic signals are an example.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
