Vishay Semiconductors SensorXplorer
Vishay Semiconductors SensorXplorer™ is a demonstration and evaluation tool for Vishay Digital Sensors, via modular Sensor Boards. Each Sensor Board features a specific Digital Sensor. The Sensor Boards connect to the SensorXplorer, which then connects to the USB port of a PC. Each Sensor Board has an associated demo software module, which maps the Sensor's registers to a control so that its influence on the sensor results can be tested. Separate test pins on the Vishay Semiconductors SensorXplorer are also provided to allow connection of external test equipment, such as an oscilloscope.
