LINTAB
Measuring Systems
LINTAB
(for "linear table") measuring systems are also becoming
widely used in dendrochronology, both in Europe and in the United
States and elsewhere. The measuring stage is a linear encoder, with zero
backlash, hooked to the measurement capture button, which is hooked
to your computer right through the serial port or USB connector.
Virtually no profusion of cables, as with the Henson/Zahn system. No
other cards or hardware are required (hence no blackbox or game card
needed as with the Henson system). The system is totally encapsulated
to protect from water, dust, and debris, something to consider if one is
working with decayed samples, or samples from wet, boggy
environments. Cores and cross-sections can be measured, with samples
weighing up to 50 kg. Standard measurement length is 560 mm (ca. 22.5
inches), but stages up to 2 m in length are available. The encoder is
precise to .01 mm, .005 mm, and now .001 mm accuracy is
available, as with the Velmex system.
