Strain Gauge to USB Convertor (DSCUSB)
Mantracourt: The DSCUSB is a compact, high performance strain gauge or load cell signal conditioner with USB connectivity aimed at applications requiring high accuracy measurement. Converts a strain gauge sensor input to a digital USB serial output. The converter is enclosed within a rugged metal case, making the device suitable for all indoor environments.
Ideal for all strain gauge bridge based sensors including load, weight, force, torque, pressure & displacement, the device simply plugs into your PC where data can be acquired and manipulated by accompanying software.
Typical applications for the DSCUSB will be those requiring simple sensor connectivity in desk top settings such as test & measurement, R&D and laboratory environments. No additional power supply is required as the power is drawn from the USB bus. Although ideal for one-to-one interface, the device can connect with multiple sensors with the use of a suitable hub. Available in ASCII protocol.
Also available as OEM pcb module - please see product sheet for more information. This version has input and output ports for switch input and relay output.
Now available in a new 'H' version offering higher resolution and lower temperature drift.
