Opinions of Omega's wireless devices- do you calibrate them yourself?
Opinions of Omega's wireless devices- do you calibrate them yourself?
(OP)
Does anyone have experience with Omega's wireless transducers?
I'm looking at the temperature, relative humidity, and pressure transducers to possibly replace chart recorders and keep a history of laboratory test equipment environments.
I'm concerned about how well the OPC Server software works in integrating the devices with LabVIEW, how well the devices transmit, if it is possible to repeat/boost the signal, and how difficult it would be to calibrate these devices myself.
Thanks for any feedback,
David

They simply re-brand everything in sight. This, of course, means you could get something great, or something... less than good.

I ran into one wireless RTD temperature transmitter for which the accuracy is stated as:
Accuracy: ±0.10% of range in mV at reference conditions for linear inputs and RTDs
When I called the manufacturer to find out how to interpret such an odd spec, specifically how one relates mV to an RTD transmitter, I couldn't get an answer. The supplier doesn't know. The promised call back never materialized.
It's the wild west out there for industrial wireless.
It's apparent that some companies entering the market are throwing stuff together, hoping the buyers won't notice that the seller hasn't a clue about the performance of their products.
