multisim using a pressure sensor

[hamez89]

I am try to add a 200psi pressure senor into my circuit. Is there a way to create it? Any help would be apprciated. Thank You.




This is tghe Transducer Im trying to represent.

Hi hamez89

If you want to add components to your database, you can create them as indicated in this tutorial.

However, if you only want to simulate a sensor, you could represent that signal with an equivalent circuit instead. I think the database includes some light sensors as well, which you could also use to represent the pressure sensor. It will all depend on the purposes of the simulation that you have.

Ok ill give the light sensor a shot. Thank You

Hi, Look under "transducer" and find the MPX2200DP component. This is a pressure sensor that allows you to increment psi for your circuit. Note that if you also wish to simulate for temperature you can adjust the resistor types and temp.
