Evaluation Tools
| Evaluation Boards | Overview | Products | Data Sheet |
|---|---|---|---|
| Evaluation Board M-G32EV041  |
This optional allows you to control our sensor via USB from your PC. It simplifies the initial evaluation process. Since it is powered through USB, no external power supply is required. |
M-A352AD M-A342VD |
 |
| Relay Board M-G32EV051  |
This optional enables control og our sensor from a microcontroller board or similar device. When used in combination with the evaluation board(M-G32EB041), it also helps reduce the impact of vibration on the USB cable during PC connection | |
|
| Magnet Base M-A52EV161  |
This optional tool allows for simple attachment of the sensor to the target machine using a magnet. | M-A552AC1 M-A552AR1 M-A542VR10 |
