About Chart Recorders and Strip Charts

Chart recorders and strip charts are data acquisition tools used to generate a plot, graph or other visualization of data versus time. Common applications include temperature and humidity measurements, chromatography, spectroscopy graphs, and plots of the output of a wide range of other lab and test equipment.


Products & Services Related to Chart Recorders and Strip Charts

Current Loop Converters
Current loop converters convert an analog or digital signal to a current loop output such as 4-20 mA or 0-20 mA.
Current-to-Voltage Converters
Current-to-voltage converters scale and convert current signal input to the desired output voltage range.
Data Acquisition I/O Modules
Data acquisition I/O modules or cards have both input and output functionality. Digital or discrete I/O modules include on-off signals used in communication, user interface, or control.
Data Acquisition Input Modules
Data acquisition input modules accept sensor and other signal output for data acquisition systems. They may include signal conditioning prior to the analog-to-digital conversion stage.
LVDT and RVDT Signal Conditioners
Linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) and rotary variable differential transformer (RVDT) signal conditioners are devices that translate the linear or rotary movement of a ferromagnetic armature into an AC voltage that is proportional to the armature position.
Sensor Transmitters
Sensor transmitters are measurement or signal conditioning packages that provide a standard, calibrated output from a sensor or transducer in the form of a current loop output (e.g., 4-20 mA).
Voltage Converters and Voltage Inverters
Voltage converters and voltage inverters accept voltage input and provide a scaled voltage output. Conversion types include scaling up a low-level signal, voltage doubling, and inversion (converting a positive voltage to negative and vice versa).
