Interfacing Sensors with Process Controller
You can quite easily interface sensors with Process Controller. Process Controller can be interfaced with pH probes, temperature probes, dissolved oxygen probes, and pressure sensors. Below is an auto tutorial on interfacing a pressure sensor with process control software.
Auto Tutorial for Pressure Sensor
This portion is part of a larger tutorial to set up a sample laboratory process of adding chemical to a tank and the start of which can be found here.
In this section of the tutorial, we wish to add a pressure sensor to measure the change in tank water level over time.
Step One: Plug in Pressure Sensor to Sensor Box
Find a 7 kPa pressure sensor and plug it into the Sensor Box. Note the location of sensor by the number.

Step Two: Add the Pressure Sensor to the Experiment
Plug the pressure sensor into the tank at the bottom. Fit a 0.25" O.D. inflexible tubing over the end of the pressure sensor that is in contact with the water pressure.
