Probes

The iProbe is a compact and lightweight system for measuring velocities and angles of attack for mobile applications. Fluid dynamic measurements with a multi-hole probe has never been so easy and fast.

Details

The iProbe simultaneously measures pressure and temperature signals and evaluates the data in real time to obtain flow parameters such as angle of attack and velocity. The probe has 5 differential pressure channels and an absolute pressure port, which also serves as a reference for the differential pressure sensors. Each probe can be customized according to customer requirements. Data is transferred via USB or CAN, and the transfer rate can be set from 1 to 50 Hz.
