Product Overview: IET LABS RTD-Z-6-.001 Programmable RTD Simulator – Obsolete
IET LABS RTD-Z-6-.001 Programmable RTD Simulator
The PRTD-X-6-0.001 is part of a versatile range of programmable resistance decade boxes designed for applications requiring precise programmable impedance. It can be controlled manually or via a computer using IEEE-488 or RS-232 interfaces.
Key Features:
- Wide range and high resolution: from 1 mΩ to 1 kΩ
- Available with 0.01% accuracy (other accuracy options available at a lower cost)
- LabVIEW drivers available for both IEEE-488.2 and RS-232 versions
- Special RTD design with virtually no zero resistance
- Optional programmable “open circuit” and “short circuit” modes
- Available in desktop and 19″ rackmount enclosures, with dual/combo rackmount options (e.g., dual resistance or resistance and capacitance)
- Custom or built-to-order models available upon request
The PRTD-X-6-0.001 Programmable RTD Simulator provides precise resistance substitution and RTD simulation across a wide range of settings. It boasts excellent stability, temperature coefficient, and power coefficient, combined with minimal zero resistance, making it highly versatile.
The simulator includes optional “open circuit” and “short circuit” modes, useful for reproducible transitions between settings and reducing zero resistance. It can be operated locally using front-panel thumbwheel switches or remotely via RS-232 or IEEE-488 interfaces, with an additional optional “10” position for each decade.
Its high-quality construction includes gold-plated tellurium-copper binding posts to minimize thermal emf effects, ensuring accuracy in DC resistance measurements. The design eliminates the impact of zero resistance and relay contact resistance, providing absolute accuracy across the entire range.
