Panel-mount display goes graphical
A new range of panel-mounting instrumentation displays combines five-digit numerical readout with a 20-segment bargraph.
A graphical representation of a measurement is often valuable in allowing quick accurate decisions to be made A monitoring instrument with a bargraph display can provide a reference with a greater impact than figures alone

Compact device takes inputs from encoders
Amalgamated Instrument Co has added a DIN rail mount ratemeter/totaliser accepting input from quadrature encoders to their extensive range of DIN rail mount monitor/controllers.
Amalgamated Instrument Co has added another option to the range of displays available for its panel mounted instrumentation The new display has a five-digit numerical readout plus a 20-segment bargraph display.
The new display also features keypads for configuration and programming and annunciator LEDs for alarm/setpoint relays.
The keypads are "domed" to give good tactile feedback in operation.
The five-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 setpoint relays and light when a setpoint condition exists.
The new display has capacity to annunciate up to four setpoint relays.
The bargraph 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 bargraph 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.
