3. Computer System Dell Inspiron 530 Cost effective, reliable
Ability to run LabVIEW and all control software

4. Tachometer Selection Dart Controls, Inc. Hall Effect (0-5000 RPM)
Easiest to use (we can tap back end of motor shaft, otherwise not applicable
Simple integration into motor controller for RPM feedback

5. Flow Sensor/Temperature Sensor
Omega, Inc.
- Incorporates volumetric flow and temperature readings
Simple integration (0-5V)
Comes with PVC connector
0-50 GPM range
0-100°C range

6. Differential Pressure
Omega, Inc.
Will monitor pump inlet and outlet
Industry standard 0-5 output
1 NPT port for pump inlet
1 NPT port for pump outlet
Only measures pressure difference between points, not individually.
Chosen to improve overall accuracy, rather than 2 sensors cumulative error

7. Gauge Pressure Omega, Inc. Industry standard 0-5V output
1 NPT port for pump inlet pressure

8. Data Acquisition National Instruments, Inc.
Can accept up to 8 inputs, only 4 needed.
Enough for this project and allows for future component upgrades
Simplifies sensor integration with native LabVIEW support

9. Motor Controller Dart Controls, Inc. MDII Series
Uses feedback from Hall-Effect sensor
Communicates to PC via RS-232
Allows for remote control from PC
Allows for LabVIEW control
Closed loop feedback maintains RPM to +/- 1 RPM
