CableTest Systems, Inc., a leading manufacturer of interconnect test solutions, is pleased to announce its newest add-on to the high performance MPT series wiring analyzer --- the MPT indoor/outdoor digital temperature and humidity Temp/RH probe. With the new Temp/RH probe, critical resistance and high voltage test results are enhanced by capturing the specific temperature and relative humidity during testing.   

Using the driver-controlled MPT Temp/RH Probe with the MPT's Discovery software, the measured temperature and relative humidity are converted to digital serial output via RS232 link and then displayed and recorded as part of the test data.   The temperature and humidity values can be used in calculations, as needed, using Lua® scripting tools.  

The MPT Temp/RH probe is powered directly from the COM port of the MPT's PC and is operated via the MPT's Discovery environment by means of a driver that is included with the T/RH Probe kit.  A serial link enables the user to retrieve actual readings, add them to the test report or use them in calculations.  

The MPT Temp/RH probe is suitable for use in indoor or outdoor test environments.  It uses a state-of-the-art capacitive polymer humidity sensor that offers outstanding resistance to mechanical stress, temperature shock and moisture build-up while ensuring a large linearity range and low hysteresis.  Temperature and humidity can be displayed on the probe's large, dual line LCD, on the PC monitor and the test report.
