The sensors are designed to be interfaced with a data logger or other data collection equipment. The sensors have special filtering to optimize performance with the short run times that are typical when operating with a data logger.
Continuous operation is also acceptable.
Distance measurements can also be received through the RS-232. Accuracy is maintained through an internal temperature sensor, or with an external temperature sensor and the correction formula in the data logger. This makes them well suited for applications operating on battery power and solar panels.
