Includes:Panel meter;Fixing kit;Quick start guide.Features:2.8" colour TFT screen;Use PanelPilot software, to setup and customise the display;Compatible with Windows 7, 8.1 and 10;Multiple voltmeter configurations included free;Programmable via the USB interface;Simple panel mounting solution;Wide operating voltage of 4V - 30V d.c.;Measures voltage from 0 - 40V d.c.;Digital Hold.Application:Marine;Health and Chemical Sensing;Scientific;Test and Measurement;Energy;HVAC;Industrial.The SGD 28-M is a PanelPilot Compatible graphics display with a 320 x 240 pixel (QVGA) colour display and USB programming interface. Using the PanelPilot software (available for Windows 7, 8.1 and 10), users are able to choose from an ever-increasing number of voltmeter types (six at launch) which can then be customised to their needs. Colours, text labels, splash screen and input voltage scaling can all be customised by the user through the software and then uploaded to the SGD 28-M through the USB connection. Panel or enclosure installation of the display is simple, using a panel fixing clip to mount the display and 4 screw terminals to connect the inputs.Voltage InputThe SGD 28-M features 2 voltage inputs, which use a Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA) to make the best use of available resolution (the smallest voltage range offers the highest resolution).USB connectionThe SGD 28-M can be powered directly from USB and is compatible with both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0. The screw terminals and advanced connector can remain connected whilst using USB, but it is not necessary for V+ to be powered.DisplayThe display is a TFT panel with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels and a 16-bit color depth. Any graphics that are uploaded to the meter are automatically converted to this specification. A resistive touchscreen is fitted for use with supporting applications. Clean the screen with a damp, soft, lint free cloth.Panel MountingThe SGD 28-M can be fitted into panels 1 mm. - 3 mm. deep. A silicone seal is included to improve fitting on thin panels. The minimum panel thickness is increased to 2 mm. if the seal is not fitted. Panel cut-out is 87 mm. x 54.5 mm.Note:The display is NOT protected against moisture or dust.Advanced ConnectorThe DIL IDC socket provides an alternative connection method to the screw-teminals (V+, 0V, IN1 and IN2 are duplicated). It also includes provision for future expansion using data buses (SPI and I2C) and alarm ouputs.
