HOME DESIGN SERVICE OTHER PRODUCTS CONTACT Avanti Frequency Output Quartz Transducer Simulator. Quartz Transducers are widely used in the oil industry for measuring downhole pressure and temperature with very high accuracy. Traditionally these transducers have frequency outputs. The Avanti AVA-01 Quartz Transducer Simulator was designed to substitute a real transducer when testing data acquisition systems. Besides being cheaper it also provides better control and repeatability of test parameters. It is particularly useful for testing accuracy, resolution and time-keeping and for spotting any counting irregularities (e.g. needles). The simulator generates 3 crystal controlled frequencies: A pressure frequency (PF), a temperature frequency (TF) and a reference signal (REF). Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) is employed, which provides variable yet quartz-stable signals with very low phase noise. Frequencies, sweep parameters and profile parameters are programmed by means of 5 rotary switches and 4 push buttons. Instructions are printed onto the front panel, which make the simulator very easy to use without a user manual.
