Abstract: This invention is a multiple channel high data rate pressure sensing device for use in wind tunnels, spacecraft, airborne, process control, automotive, etc., pressure measurements. This device offers data rates in excess of 100,000 measurements per second with inaccuracies from temperature shifts less than 0.25% (nominal) of full scale over a temperature span of 55.degree. C. This device consists of thirty-two solid state sensors 11, signal multiplexing electronics to electronically address each sensor, and ditital electronic circuitry to automatically correct the inherent thermal shift errors of the pressure sensors and their associated electronics.

Abstract: This invention is a high data rate pressure sensor module with an in situ calibration capability to help reduce energy consumption in wind tunnel facilities without loss of measurement accuracy. The sensor module allows for nearly a two order of magnitude increase in data rates over conventional electromechanically scanned pressure sampling techniques. The module consists of 16 solid state pressure sensor chips and signal multiplexing electronics integrally mounted to a four position pressure selector switch. One of the four positions of the pressure selector switch allows the in situ calibration of the 16 pressure sensors; the three other positions allow 48 channels (three sets of 16) pressure inputs to be measured by the sensors. The small size of the sensor module will allow mounting within many wind tunnel models, thus eliminating long tube lengths and their corresponding slow pressure response.
