Instrument
The FOT Lab Kit Instrument is a four channel system that includes
0 to 10V analog outputs for each channel as well as an RS-232
interface.
Probes
Luxtron offers standard fiber optic probes for use with the FOT Lab
Kit. The probes are designed to suite a variety of applications.
Some are designed to measure the bulk temperature of an object
(immersion probes) while other are designed to measure the
surface temperature of an object (surface and non-contact probes).
These probes are available in standard lengths of 2, 5, and 10 meters
(see Figure 2-1, on page 2-2 for details).
LUXTRON specializes in developing custom probes to meet the
unique circumstances of OEM applications. Non-metallic and
electrically non-conductive, the Fluoroptic
®
probes are immune to
EMI and high voltages that adversely affect conventional sensors
