1. SEVENTH FRAMEWORK FROGRAMME 1 Introduction In the HISVESTA project one of the main outcomes are the new pressure transducer TP4000 as well as other pressure transducer versions in different pressure ranges In order to ease the test Set Up and to go around more sophisticated and time consuming programming tasks one Milestone and a specific Deliverable in the project was to establish a Evaluation Kit for the TP4000 transducers The evaluation kit should make it possible to within few minutes connect to any PC and run demonstration of pressure testing of the TP4000 pressure transducers developed in the project An early version of the Evaluation Kit and software was sent to Penny amp Giles for performance testing of transducers during 2010 and was used to ease the integration of the HISVESTA transducers into Air Data Computer applications This document describes the functions the set up and use of the Evaluation Kit 07 02 2011 EE SEVENTH FRAMEWORK PROGRAMME 2 2 1 The TP to USB converter is only meant for evaluation purposes and is not intended for real aircraft or flight usage It has mechanical electrical and software support for connection of TP2000 TP3100 and TP4000 pressure transducers 2 1 1 213729 HISVESTA Description of TP USB 4000 evaluation kit Overview TP Conver ter MEMSc AP Contents of the evaluation kit TP to USB converter TPUSB USB cable CD w2.
