• Easy operation greatly reduces the working hours.
• 4-digit CAL switch.
• Hardly affected by noise.
• Various fixing fixtures and handles.
• You can set and control the MCF-B from your PC.
• Input Open Detection Function (DPM-91A/92A)
Features
The multi signal conditioner MCF-B is a portable amplifier. The MCF-B is able to build a high-performance conditioner system by mounting conditioner cards in the unit base.
The MCF-B is able to keep outputting the calibration values by using the CAL LOCK function.
