Low-Cost Strain Gage Data Logger

Up to 16 Channels of Quarter-, Half-, or Full-Bridge Strain

Description

This system is ideal for portable applications. It uses the NI SCC signal conditioning system, a PCI data acquisition board, and a PC for a data logger capable of logging up to 16 quarter-, half-, or full-bridge strain gage (or other bridge-type sensor) channels. This modular system is recommended for use when application needs could expand beyond basic strain measurements.

Please consult with your sales representative for help in further configuring your application.
