New Force Sensing Instruments
Digital Strain Gage Module (DSC)
Strainsert now offers two new force sensing instruments: the Digital Strain Gage Module (DSC) and the Strain Gage Module (DSC-USB).
As a premier manufacturer of standard and custom force sensors for research, testing, weighing and control applications in a diverse range of industries, we are introducing these two new instruments for applications that require force readings with high measurement accuracy, resolution, stability and repeatability.
First, the Digital Strain Gage Module (DSC) is a compact, high-performance strain gage digital signal conditioner module. The module and sensor may be powered by a typical DC power supply and communicates using standard or custom bus communications and protocols. A standard Windows DLL is provided for creating custom applications.
The Digital Strain Gage Module (DSC) features include:
- Outputs options include RS-232, RS-485 and CAN. Protocols include ASCII, CAN and Modbus.
- Up to 500 readings/second
- IP67 rated enclosures
- Software tools included for interfacing with device configuration, calibration, datalogging and recording
Strain Gage Module (DSC-USB)
The USB Strain Gage Module (DSC-USB) is a compact, high performance strain gage digital signal conditioner module with USB connectivity. It is aimed at applications which require high measurement accuracy, resolution, and repeatability. The module and sensor are powered by the host USB and will appear as a virtual COM port. DIN rail mounting is also available.
The Strain Gage module (DSC-USB) offers:
- Simple, cost effective solution for interfacing most Strainsert Sensors to a computer
- Provides 200 samples per second at 18 bit resolution
- Ideal for a single sensor, and multiple sensors can be connected via a USB hub.
- The IP50 rated ABS plastic enclosure may be mounted in several ways.
- Software tools included for interfacing with device configuration, calibration, datalogging and recording
