The new Shaw sensor connects directly to a factory computer line to measure the amount of moisture in dry air or gas without the need for a separate power supply or hygrometer.

With the sensor in room air, Shaw Automatic Calibration has entered the range of -80°C. which is less than 1 part per million of water vapour, to 0°C.
