I'm very new to using pressure transducers and only have a snapon 500psi version but I have bought a 12v to 5 v convertor so it can be used with my picoscope (to a point) but is there any way I can setup the transducer to read psi rather than the voltage over time scales if I know the voltage/psi output.
I realise it maynot be to accurate but as a comparison access all cylinders it maybe acceptable. Is the actual presure reading that important or more the waveform detail for diagnostic use. A compression gauge can give us an actual figure.
I did see a youtube clio for custom probes, but not sure how to enter the conversion factor. 0.5v = 0 psi & 4.5v = 500psi. I'm still trying to find the actual range as the one I had I doubt is correct because it states.2 v = 25psi but the sensor works as 0.5v - 4.5 v.
yes it will read both pressure and vacuum so I suppose it makes life more diffixult. I have actually used it with the picoscope so it does work but obviously accuracy isn't brilliant but its a start I hope.
According to what I can find for very similar types it is. I suppose I could connect it upto my snapon vantagePro and measure the voltage output at different pressures using my vac/pressure pump and breakout leads.
I guess you set a custom probe of -1v to + 4.5v but can I still set 0.5v as zero psi.

Hi
Test this probe.
If value is linear sensor this should be fine.
