Inexpensive meter,software bring panel meters into the 21st century

摘要

Until 2010, the last time panel meters underwent a significant design change was when they went from using galvanometers to seven-segment liquid-crystal displays in the 1960s. The PanelPilot system is an even greater improvement - one likely to forever change how panel meters are purchased and deployed -and it is priced starting under $100.rnThe revolutionary aspect of the system is that its panel meters employ a color LCD display - with touch ca-rnpability - that users can program using PanelPilot software via the meter's Mini-B USB port. They can program it to display measurement data in whatever format they want: as an analog display, a digital readout, a bar graph, or in some other format they'd care to invent.
