Webtec Products Ltd, in St Ives, Cambridgeshire has launched a new portable hydraulic data logger that is ideal for portable diagnostic applications as well as for permanent installation on small hydraulic test benches. The new HPM540 USB compatible handheld data-logger provides excellent flexibility allowing the user to connect up to four compatible sensors and measure any combination of flow, pressure, temperature, speed and custom analogue inputs. The data logger has a sampling speed of up to 0.25 ms, ideal for capturing harmful pressure spikes, and is equally at home logging periodically or on a key press for comparative testing of components.

The HPM540 data-logger features ‘Sensor Recognition’ (SR) so the data-logger automatically recognises which SR sensor is connected and automatically sets all parameters including engineering units. The HPM540 is the latest addition to the SR family of products and comes complete with free Windows© compatible HPMComm analysis software.
