Frequently Asked Questions
How does the KDM-8206 scale to many channels?
Each channel is a 3U-by-7T Eurocard measuring module. You add channels by installing modules into empty rack or bench-top slots — up to 12 in a full rack — with auto-synchronization across channels.
What resolution and bandwidth does it offer?
Resolution to 10 microinches or better (0.01% of full scale), non-linearity under 1% FS, and frequency response of 50 KHz standard (up to 120 KHz optional).
What sensors does it support?
21 standard-temperature sensors (−67°F to +220°F) and 10 moderate-temperature sensors (cryogenic to +400°F), measuring both ferrous and non-ferrous targets. It also drives Kaman’s extreme-environment high-temperature sensors.
