Futek VCal™ Verification Checking System

FEATURES
Hardware Features:
1. VCal™ Data Acquisition Module
  • Internal storage capability for test data storage, tracking, print-out, certificates and analysis such as signature and graphic analysis;

  • Internally integrated data acquisition program and related documents;

  • Dual ±20 bit signal condition sensor inputs, which supports up to 5mV/V full bridge input with built in 5VDC bridge excitation;

  • Supports sensors with amplified output such as ±10 VDC or 4-20 mA;

  • Built-in Shunt Cal measurement and Scaling for each input channel. Software selectable. Also supports external Shunt Cal resistors (3 internal, 1 external);

  • Provides one temperature input;

  • Built-in resistance measurement capability for bridge measurement and trouble shooting;

  • Two quick disconnect receptacles for sensor connections (with mV/V inputs), and two sets of screw terminals for sensors with amplified output;

  • Sensor auto-recognition capability;

  • USB connection to computer;

  • On/off power switch;

  • Can be used independently for 2 channel testing, and stacked with other VCalTM Modules for additional channels.

    2. Reference Sensors
  • Built-in Auto recognition and NIST traceable calibration test;

  • Most Futek sensors can be used as reference sensors*;

  • Can be provided with required cable assembly;

    • * Check with Futek for sensor specifications.

    Software Features:
  • Intuitive and user-friendly interface;

  • Compatible with Windows 2000 based computers and programs such as LabView;

  • The program supports data exports to excel for further analysis & graph supports & endurance or long term zero track testing;

  • Built-in calculators for Zero Offset, Span Adjustment, and Unit Conversion;

  • Additional built-in functions for trouble-shooting strain gage based sensors and revalidating overloaded sensors;

  • Supports Linearity, Hysteresis & Repeatability testing with user defined loading points;

  • Supports multi component testing with crosstalk check capability;

  • Supports multi range calibration records for reference sensor;

  • Allows manual entry of recorded test data from a previously calibrated reference sensor or test sensors;

  • Provides 3rd order real time Linearization of Reference Sensor;

  • Re-calibration alerts;

  • Overload warning & log reports;

  • Automated or manual test input;

  • User customized printout and certificate;

  • Choice of saving and maintaining test data in VCalTM Data Acquisition Module or on customer’s own computer.


    • Online Management Features:
  • All test data, reports and certificates can be stored, reviewed, and printed out via Internet;

  • Logs all sensor overloads and automatically notifies user of re-calibration every time VCalTM module is connected to Internet;

  • Online software upgrades & tech supports.
