The Laureate 4-20 mA and RS232/RS485 output, process signal input transmitter provides zero and span adjustment for use with a wide range of industrial transducers. Six DC voltage and four DC current input ranges are jumper selectable. The two most sensitive voltage ranges, 200.00 mV and 2.0000V, provide a high input impedance of 1 GΩ to minimize the load on the voltage signal.
The transmitter can be set to a ratio (or potentiometer follower) mode by making selections at the connector and in software. In this mode, the transmitter output tracks a ratio of the applied excitation voltage and is unaffected by changes in the excitation voltage. Ratiometric measurements provide an exceptional accuracy of 0.01% of reading ± 2 counts. This capability is used with the meter's 5V or 10V excitation output for load cells and Wheatstone bridges, and with the meter's 5V excitation output for potentiometers which track wiper position.
Fast read rates at up to 50 or 60 conversions per second while integrating the signal over a full power line cycle are ideal for peak or valley capture and for real-time computer interface and control. Digital signal filtering modes are selectable for stable readings in electrically noisy environments. The internal digital readings and analog output can be individually selected to be either unfiltered or filtered.
Standard features of Laureate LT transmitters include:
Easy Transmitter programming is via Laurel's Instrument Setup Software, which runs on a PC under MS Windows. This software can be downloaded from this website at no charge. The required transmitter-to-PC interface cable is available from Laurel (P/N CBL04).

Laureate™ Ethernet & 4-20 mA Output Transmitter for Process & Ratio Signals
A Laureate process meter or transmitter with the Extended main board option allows exceptionally accurate custom curve linearization. For setup, up to 180 data points can be entered into a spreadsheet. The system then creates multiple non-linear spline-fit segments, which provide much better accuracy than linear segments. One application, as illustrated, is the readout of volume of irregularly shaped tanks based on measured liquid level or pressure. Altimeters and thermistors are further applications.
