The industries we serve

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the most common questions about our products and services

Digital update is 10 kHz and analog update 80 kHz. Frequency response is adjustable up to 5 kHz; update rate is not bandwidth.

The <±0.2% FSO specification requires three-point linearization. Match linearization to the head, target material and installation.

No. Specifications distinguish 0.004% FSO at 20 Hz from 0.01% FSO at 5 kHz. Use the appropriate filter and dynamic conditions.

Controller operation is −20 to 105°C. Heads are selected separately; up to 200°C applies to particular heads, not every complete system.

RS485 is onboard. USB, Ethernet and industrial protocols need the appropriate interface module, plus matching power/signal and sensor cables.
