TECAT Performance Systems announced the WISER 2030-S, the first version of the company's wireless torque sensor to feature shunt calibration. The new WISER 2030-S simplifies instrumentation verification for users while allowing field checks of the system's calibration.

The remote unit consists of the data-capture electronics connected to Micro-Measurements strain gages, a transceiver and a long-life battery. The base unit plugs directly into a PC USB port and houses an antenna, transceiver and up to two analog outputs. The WISER Data Viewer software provides for system configuration and calibration, live monitoring and data logging. The WISER 2030-S enables positive and negative shunt calibration with two independent shunt calibration legs using 100 kΩ resistors.
In addition to measuring torque, the WISER 2030-S has the optional ability to measure 3-axis acceleration, barometric pressure, and ambient temperature, all within a small footprint measuring 36 mm x 23 mm x 4 mm. On-board high-speed data logging with triggering capability permits high-resolution data-collection on the remote unit alone — without connectivity to a PC or data acquisition system. Remote flash enables firmware upgrades without removing the system from the unit under test.
The WISER 2030-S is available now and will be demonstrated for the first time at Automotive Testing Expo Europe 2016, May 31 - June 2, at booth 1176 in Hall 1 at Messe Stuttgart (Stuttgart, Germany).
