The Model 26800 Meteorological Translator offers a unique and flexible solution for meteorological data measurement, recording and display.
Advanced design has features and flexibility to perform a wide variety of monitoring tasks. From simple display of a single variable to recording data from a complete sensor suite, the 26800 can satisfy countless measurement needs.
High Resolution Display
The 26800 features a large, high-contrast LCD screen. The display text and layout are fully programmable so measured data can be displayed in a wide variety of formats. Up to 8 screens may be used. Display illumination is easily adjusted for best viewing in any light.
Practical Design
Compact configuration is easily panel mounted (no additional hardware required). Adjustable stand permits table top use as well.
Fully Programmable
The real strength of the 26800 is the ability of the user to custom program the device to perform virtually any task. A user-friendly PC program allows easy formatting of the program parameters, display screens and recording functions. Programming is also possible using front panel controls when a PC is unavailable.
Data Storage
The 26800 has built-in memory for storage of large amounts of recorded data. More than 2 million data points may be stored. Data retrieval is simplified by the handy communication program provided.
Wide Variety of Inputs
The 26800 is supplied with a large selection of sensor inputs. Wind, temperature, precipitation, humidity and other sensors are easily connected through the removable terminals. Frequency, voltage, current loop and serial inputs are provided. All values are completely scalable in the program.
Useful Outputs
Many output options are available from the 26800. Terminals are available for calibrated voltage outputs and current outputs as well as serial outputs. Switched outputs provide alarm capability.
