With time-proven reliability and stability of vibrating-wire sensor technology
Überblick
The GRANITE™VWIRE 305 is an eight-channel interface for dynamic measurements of standard single-coil circuit vibrating-wire sensors. With the VWIRE 305 interface, you can operate traditional “static” gages at “dynamic” rates to achieve faster and better measurements without having to purchase or install new sensors.
The interface measures the resonant frequency of the wire between excitations using the patented vibrating-wire spectral-analysis technology (VSPECT®). VSPECT® provides very fine measurement resolution and limits the influence of external noise by discriminating between signal and noise based on frequency content. Because of this technology, the signal can be carried through longer cables in harsher noise environments, giving you flexibility in your sensor and data-acquisition system siting.

The dynamic vibrating-wire measurement technique is protected under U.S. Patent No. 8,671,758, and the vibrating-wire spectral-analysis technology (VSPECT®) is protected under U.S. Patent No. 7,779,690.

CPI Calculator v.1.0 (2.49 MB) 06-07-2016
The CPI Calculator is a downloadable Microsoft Excel spreadsheet used to estimate the usage and capacity of a CPI network. The calculator provides an overview on CPI devices including the CDM-A108, CDM-A116, CDM-VW300, CDM-VW305, and the CSAT3B. The calculator can also estimate the measurement speed of the CDM-A108 and CDM-A116 based on the number of channels and measurement parameters.
The CPI Calculator is an estimation tool and will help you better understand and design CPI networks by considering the following:
- What is the capability of each CDM or CPI device
- What is the CPI network capacity
- How much of the CPI capacity are the CDMs or CPI devices using
