Handheld IO-Link master, charge amplifier, function generator and calibration tool with data acquisition, 3 channels / 5811A01 Config

The handheld Type 5811A01 provides IO‑Link master functionality for parameterizing IO‑Link devices and streaming their data. It also works as a battery‑powered charge amplifier and monitoring device for dynamic and quasi‑static signals and includes an integrated data acquisition system that stores digitized measurements locally for later transfer via USB. In addition, it can be used to monitor transmitters and sensors with analog outputs of ±10 V.
The handheld device is configured and operated via an intuitive user interface on touchscreen display which is supplemented by side buttons to allow operation of main controls with gloves. The graphical user interface not only provides a simple and intuitive way to configure the device but also displays various measurement values (e.g. live value, peak value, root mean square value) as well as the measurement curve in a y/t graph. An evaluation view allows to check if the measured process signal is within user defined limits.
The handheld device can store presets of user generated measurement configurations. This not only allows to quickly change between repeatedly executed tasks, but it also ensures that these tasks are executed with identical settings, resulting in consistent data.
The handheld device provides an optional calibration mode for in‑situ sensor calibrations, supporting both stepwise and stepwise‑from‑zero calibration procedures. Calibration results can be documented directly on the device by generating PDF reports, which can be stored locally and exported to a PC as needed.
A function generator mode delivers voltage and charge signals, supporting external capacitors for charge generation. It provides precise reference signals for validating in‑situ amplifier setup and operating conditions, with multiple waveform options available for diverse test scenarios.
