● 

High accuracy -  Model 9116 pressure scanners are capable of accuracies up to  

 

±0.05%.   Accuracy is maintained through use of built-in re-zero, span, or multi-point  

 

calibration capabilities.  Accuracies are maintained for six (6) months after calibration.  

 
 

● 

Low thermal errors  - each internal transducer contains an individual  

 

 

temperature sensor and thermal calibration data for internal use by software  

 

 

correction algorithms.  Thermal errors are reduced as low as ±0.001%FS/ºC over  

 

 

the calibrated temperature span. 

 
 

●    Re-zero upon demand - an integrated calibration valve allows for automatic re- 

 

 

  zero adjustment calibration of dry gas transducers to null offset drift errors. 

 
 

● 

Ease of transducer replacement - factory calibrated transducer assemblies may  

 

 

be stocked and rapidly replaced in the field.  Storage of thermal coefficients  

 

 

within the transducer allows for ‘plug and play’ transducer replacement. 

 
 

●    Ease of calibration - each Model 9116 module contains a  pneumatic  

 

 

  calibration manifold and software commands to automatically perform re-zero,  

 

 

  span, and multi-point adjustment calibrations.  New offset and gain coefficients  

 

 

that result from the most recent calibration may be stored in non-volatile 
transducer memory. 

 
 

● 

Ease of use - modules have simple command sets and provide engineering units  

 

 

output.  They may interface directly to a desktop or laptop computer or they may  

 

 

be interconnected into a large network controlled by many types of host  

  

computers. 

 

 

●    Connectivity - use of industry-standard communications network protocols to  

 

 

  control and read data from NetScanner

 System modules allows distribution to  

 

 

  the point of measurement and ensures compatibility with third party hardware  

  

 

and 

software. 

 

 
The all new electronics of the Model 9116 reduces data acquisition noise and capture latency, 
while actually improving channel settling time and boosting data throughput. Additionally, the 
Ethernet interface has been upgraded to 10BaseT/100BaseT with half and full duplex 
capabilities to provide significant flexibility in network configuration. The Ethernet interface is 
completely auto-configuring, ensuring the best utilization of network capabilities, while ensuring 
the maximum backward compatibility. The trigger circuitry has been upgraded to allow triggering 
on positive, negative, or both transitions of the trigger signal. By configuring the Model 9116 to 
trigger on both transitions, the Model 9116 can be integrated into existing systems, providing 
twice the data throughput for most users, without modification to the system trigger circuit.  
 
The firmware in the Model 9116 implements the Model 9016 command set further simplifying 
use with existing systems. In fact, the Model 9116 can be configured to report its identity as a 
Model 9016 to ensure compatibility with system software that is sensitive to the reported model 
type.
