Compatible to the wide range of INFICON active gauges, the new VGC50x series of active gauge controllers are able to monitor and data log the entire pressure range from 10⁻¹⁰ to 1500 mbar (10⁻¹⁰ to 1125 Torr) and the set point status.

Advantages

  • Simple operation with dot matrix menu guided display for parameter, sensor or general settings
  • Very bright and clear Display for long distance Instrument read- out
  • Bar graph display with setpoints's or pressure vs. time display
  • Data log and parameter log function with USB port (rear side) and USB stick (front side)
  • Ethernet interface
  • Firmware upgrade available online or with USB stick
  • Two free definable setpoints per channel with adjustable hysteresis
  • High Resolution - 16 bit A/D converter
  • Automatic identification of the INFICON active gauges
  • Programmable 0 to 10 V Chart Recorder Output with logarithmic/ linear characteristics for single gauge or gauge combination (only VGC502 and VGC503)
