Of particular interest to medical and defense applications, integrating an environmental sensor provides automatic measurement and reporting of environmental test conditions (temperature, relative humidity, pressure) alongside electrical function data for the cable, harness, or backplane under test. This option simplifies test and reporting procedures especially involving testing with environmental chambers.
While use of an environmental sensor is a user-option during testing, it is required for calibration procedures.
CAMI designed this capability to be compatible with a third-party1 environmental sensor by Dracal; the sensor connects to a USB port on the tester’s computer. CAMI’s software reads the data into variables within the main CableEye software. Item T879 references the PTH200 sensor which has a typical operating range and precision as noted in the table. Contact us to inquire about compatibility with Dracal's user-calibratable sensor (PTH200-CAL), or with precision (PTH420) or high precision and wider temperature range measurement (PTH450, -40°C to 125°C).
