Laureate Series Advanced Timing Digital Panel Meter from Laurel Electronics
The Laureate Series Advanced Timing digital panel meter from Laurel Electronics is a modular, high-precision instrument designed for accurate stopwatch timing, periodic interval measurement, and PWM analysis in industrial environments. Built on a flexible platform with isolated boards, this digital panel meter offers exceptional customization through plug-in options for setpoint control, analog outputs, and digital interfaces. Its crystal-calibrated time base (±2 ppm accuracy) and high-speed processing ensure reliable performance across demanding applications, from elapsed time tracking to PWM signal monitoring. The digital panel meter's compact 1/8 DIN size and rugged construction make it ideal for control panels where space and durability are critical.
Modular Design and Core Advantages
This digital panel meter features a base configuration including a main module, power supply, and signal conditioner board. Optional boards add dual relays, isolated analog outputs (4-20 mA or 0-10 V), or communication (RS-232, RS-485, Modbus RTU/TCP, Ethernet). All boards are isolated from meter and power grounds for noise immunity and safety. Common specifications across the series include:
- Crystal time base calibrated to ±2 ppm
- Span temperature coefficient ±1 ppm/°C (typical)
- Long-term drift ±5 ppm/year (typical)
- 6-digit LED display with customizable scaling and brightness
- Universal power supply options
Available Advanced Timing Digital Panel Meter Models
The Laureate Series includes three specialized models for advanced timing applications, each optimized for specific industrial needs:
- 6-Digit Digital Stopwatch and Timer Digital Panel Meter
This digital panel meter provides high-precision stopwatch and timer functionality with resolution down to milliseconds. It supports start/stop/reset triggers from external sensors or manual controls, making it ideal for measuring single event durations, accumulated times, or preset countdowns. Applications include production cycle timing, experiment duration tracking, and process synchronization in manufacturing or research environments.
- Time Interval of Periodic Events Digital Panel Meter
This digital panel meter measures the precise duration of recurring cycles or intervals between periodic events with exceptional accuracy. It handles high-speed inputs and applies noise filtering for stable readings in repetitive processes. Perfect for monitoring machine cycles, signal periods, or flow rates in continuous operations like chemical processing or conveyor systems.
- Duty Cycle & PWM Digital Panel Meter
This digital panel meter accurately measures duty cycle percentage, pulse width, and frequency in PWM signals up to 1 MHz. It supports a wide input range and high crest factors for reliable readings in non-sinusoidal waveforms. Essential for motor speed control, power regulation, LED dimming, and signal analysis in automation and electronics testing.
