Pressure sensors — OPP-M200, WLPI technology
LifeSens — Single channel signal conditioner
The LifeSens is a tiny signal conditioner designed exclusively for measuring physiological pressure. LifeSens delivers excellent pressure measurements with all of the capabilities required for life science applications when combined with OpSens’ OPP-M fiber optic sensors.
OpSens’ White Light Polarization Interferometry (WLPI) technology (Patent # 7,259,862) is used in the LifeSens, providing very accurate and reliable absolute Fabry-Perot cavity length measurements.
LifeSens measures pressure at a rate of 250 Hz. An inbuilt manometer automatically adapts for changes in atmospheric pressure. The system accepts the OpSens SCPROM connection, which can store the OPP-M sensor gauge factor. Upon mating the sensor, the gauge factor is smoothly sent to the LifeSens conditioner.
The LifeSens is equipped with an LCD display and can be powered by a battery. It has an RS-232 connection port as well as a conventional ± 5 V output for real-time data gathering.
The LifeSens may be controlled either directly through the front-panel keyboard or remotely using the usual RS-232 interface. A robust case with a replaceable rubber boot is offered, providing excellent mechanical protection against intense handling in difficult environments.
