Overview

The SDM-INT8 outputs timing data to a Campbell Scientific data logger. The data logger can process the timing data to calculate RPM, duty cycle, velocity, crank angle, etc.

Benefits and Features

  • Allows individual programming for each of the eight channels
  • Includes an internal microprocessor that allows measurement independent of data logger's execution interval
  • Outputs period, pulse width, frequency, counts, or time intervals
  • Records results as execution interval averages, continuous averages, specified interval averages, or capture all events

Detailed Description

The SDM-INT8 has eight channels that are individually programmed to record the timing of input voltage transitions (events). It uses this information to output:

  • Period (ms)
  • Frequency (kHz)
  • Elapsed time between events on adjacent channels
  • Number of counts measured on channel 2 between a “start” event on channel 1 and a “stop” event on any other channel
  • Elapsed time between events on channel 1 and any other channel
  • Pulse Counting (any channel can function as a pulse counter)

SDM Operation

The data logger enables individual modules through an addressing scheme; up to 15 SDM-INT8s can be connected to one data logger. After a module is enabled, it operates independently of the data logger until additional commands are received or results are transmitted.

Additional Compatibility Information

Data Logger Considerations

Programming

The SDMINT8 instruction controls the SDM-INT8 operation in CRBasic. Instruction 101 controls the SDM-INT8 operation in Edlog.

Power Considerations

The SDM-INT8 draws 20 mA. In most applications, the data logger’s sealed rechargeable power supply can be used. The data logger’s alkaline power supply has sufficient capacity to operate the SDM-INT8 during short-term installations only.

Enclosure Considerations

The SDM-INT8 should be housed in an environmental enclosure. A bracket is shipped with the SDM-INT8 for mounting it to an enclosure backplate.
