DMT SPECIFICATIONS:

 

  • Multiple instruments in one flight canister, covering a sizing range from 0.5 µm to 1550 µm, plus Hot-Wire LWC, Temperature and RH sensing

  • Cloud and Aerosol Spectrometer (CAS) section uses forward-scatter and back-scatter techniques to measure particles from 0.5 µm to 50 µm

  • Cloud Imaging Probe (CIP) section uses a fast 64-element photodiode array to generate 2-Dimensional Images of particles from 25 - 1550 µm, as well as sizing in 1-Dimensional Histogram form, and includes housekeeping data

  • Liquid Water Content: Hot-Wire sensor measures up to 3 g/m³

  • Airspeed and Altitude measurements from the heated Pitot tube

  • Output: Ethernet, or high-speed serial RS-422 or RS-232 interfaces

  • Optional PADS software package offers powerful data-analysis tools to display, record and play back data

  • Calibration Fixtures: Spinning disk unit for the CIP and glass-bead calibration fixture for the CAS (included)

  • Power: 28VDC: 10A for probe system, and 45A for anti-ice heaters

  • Weight of the probe and canister: 45 lbs./20.4kg

  • System includes the spectrometer, flight canister, test cables, spinning disk CIP calibration tool, CAS calibration glass bead dispenser, shipping case, one day of training at DMT's facility, and one-year warranty
