Transmitter enables conductivity, pH, dissolved oxygen and temperature to be measured and controlled from one programmable device. As opposed to conventional bench top probes and transmitters, which are typically “closed” technology and do not allow user programming or integration of additional equipment, the new Open Source Bio transmitter allows for programmable functionality. The equipment is built around an open-source printed circuit board which allows for easy user programming. This, in turn, allows the user to perform custom calculations, display custom values, graphs or graphics on the LCD screen, control external equipment, and accept readings or inputs from external equipment.
Features also include data logging to a USB drive, a brilliant colour LCD screen, easy-to-follow calibration sequences, low power mode for field usage, and a user-programmable screen for displaying graphs, graphics or variables. The pH, Conductivity, and DO probes can all be used with the same transmitter, allowing for multiple parameter measurements from one unit, reducing the amount of equipment needed in the lab.
