bPAD+VR

bPAD+ with an analogue output for pulses or count rate, e.g. for flow instruments

Enhanced version of the bPAD+ in which the analogue output can deliver either the pulse signal or a voltage proportional to the discriminated count rate. This is useful, for example, in flow count-rate instruments and HPLC systems.
