IRC081

The Ion Reference gauge Controller IRC081 and its User Interface are an operating and display interface to the standardized Ion Reference Gauge IRG080. IRC081 delivers precise and reference total pressure measurement and local control for the IRG080 gauge. Read-out and switch on/off functionality are available remotely via an USB computer interface.

Thanks to the intuitive included "IRC081 User Interface" software, selected settings and measured pressure value can be conveniently graphically displayed. The IRC081 operating unit is offered with different sets of cable length.
