ASI Instruments (USA), introduces the EasyTrak XP laser transmitter. It is designed for measuring dry bulk solids. The device is housed in an explosion-proof assembly with a screw-on cover. The dual-compartment design allows users to isolate the wiring and terminations from the sensing elements and internal electronics. The EasyTrak XP measures distances from 0.3 to 15m. The all-digital design features an advanced timing system and sophisticated, self-correcting digital signal processing (DSP) functions. The EasyTrak XP is able to select true signals even in the presence of surrounding noise, such as moderate dust or agitator blades. The transmitter’s variable gain allows the system to select the best return signal in quickly changing visibility conditions such as moderate dust, vapours, and materials of different colour. A stainless steel dust tube prevents dust build-up and protects the optical lens from being coated. The EasyTrak XP can be programmed with a Palm or pocket PC handheld device or a desktop/laptop personal computer.
