Evaluation boards and kits
Pressure sensor evaluation should take hours, not weeks. Superior’s USB plug‑and‑play evaluation boards and application‑specific kits put real sensor data in front of your engineering team on day one, with built‑in data logging to compare every family variant side by side before you commit to a design.
Evaluation Boards
Our product evaluation boards are very easy to use, leveraging a USB interface to connect to any standard computer with the provided software. These cost-effective systems enable rapid evaluation and sensor testing. The EB02 boards include I2C and SPI interfaces and software for all product families.
Evaluation board part number: EB02
Unless part of a bundled evaluation kit, sensors will need to be purchased separately.

Evaluation Kit Bundles
for HVAC, Spirometry, and Ventilators
For HVAC, Spirometry, and Ventilator applications, Superior Sensor offers cost-effective evaluation kit bundles that include the evaluation board, test software, USB cable, and 1 unit of each HV, SP, or VN sensor. This allows testing of each HV, SP, or VN sensor before deciding which product to deploy.
Development Kit
for CP202 and CP302
The CP202/CP302 dual-pressure sensors are designed for the characterization and productization of CPAP sensors with integrated closed-loop control and an overpressure indicator. The sensors include programmable control parameters used for product development. These parameters are permanently stored in custom sensors that are characterized for specific end products.
Development kit part number: DK-CP-CLS

Evaluation Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the EB02 evaluation board and an evaluation kit?
The EB02 is the evaluation board hardware: a USB‑connected board with I²C and SPI interfaces, a sensor socket for quick device swapping, and built‑in data logging, sold without sensors. It’s ideal if you already have sensors on hand or want to evaluate additional variants beyond those included in a kit. An evaluation kit bundles the EB02 with the evaluation software, a USB cable, and one unit of each sensor in the target product family, so everything needed to start measuring arrives in a single order. For engineers starting a new family evaluation from scratch, the kit eliminates the need to source the board and sensors separately.
Which evaluation kit should I order for my application?
Three application-specific kits are available. The EK04-HV is the HVAC kit, including one each of the HV110, HV120, HV160, and HV210, covering the full HV Series pressure range from air quality and filter monitoring through VAV control. The EK03-SP is the spirometry kit, including the SP110, SP160, and SP210 for evaluating standard and position-insensitive spirometry configurations, along with the SP160’s higher-pressure FOT range. The EK07-VN is the ventilator kit, including all seven VN Series sensors: VN025CM, VN026CM, VN130CM, VN131CM, VN150A, VN150D, and VN-BARO. Together, they cover every pressure measurement point in the ventilator circuit, from flow to inlet to barometric reference. If your application spans more than one product family, you can order additional sensors separately and evaluate them on the same EB02 board.
Can the EB02 be used across multiple Superior Sensor product families?
Yes. The EB02 is a universal evaluation board that supports all Superior Sensor product families, including the HV, SP, and VN Series, without requiring hardware changes between families. An engineer evaluating HV Series sensors for an HVAC design can reuse the same board to evaluate SP Series sensors for a spirometry project or VN Series sensors for a ventilator program. Additional sensors from any supported family can be purchased separately and evaluated on the same board, making the EB02 a reusable asset across multiple design programs rather than a single‑project tool.
What does the evaluation software do, and what can I measure with it?
The evaluation software (PRT-0279) runs on any standard computer via USB and provides real-time pressure readings from the connected sensor, configurable data logging to capture and compare measurement sessions, and direct access to key configuration parameters, including pressure range, bandwidth, and filter settings. Logging lets engineers record sensor output under real operating conditions and compare results across sensor variants or configurations side by side. Because the software exposes the same configuration interface used in production firmware, settings established during evaluation translate directly into integration parameters without recharacterization.
What is the CP development kit, and how does it differ from the evaluation kits?
The CP development kit (DK-CP-CLS) is purpose-built for engineers integrating CP202 or CP302 closed-loop control CPAP sensors, which must be custom-programmed before production deployment. Unlike evaluation kits focused on sensor performance assessment, the development kit is a characterization and productization tool: it provides the hardware and interface needed to program and permanently store closed-loop control parameters including pressure targets, control response, and overpressure thresholds that define how the sensor behaves in a specific PAP platform. Because CP202 and CP302 programs are delivered through a partnership engagement with Superior Sensor for high-volume applications, the development kit is available by contacting the Superior Sensor team directly rather than through standard distribution channels.
Are the sensors included in evaluation kits the same as production sensors?
Yes. Evaluation kits include standard production sensors, not special evaluation variants. Performance characteristics, calibration, noise floor, and interface behavior measured during evaluation are fully representative of what a production design will see. Data logged during evaluation, including accuracy under operating conditions, filter response, and long-term behavior, can be used directly to inform production sensor selection and system specifications without adjusting for differences between evaluation and production parts.
