Texense Strain Gauge Amplifier XN2.1 allows programmable functions without computer

Texense International Company, specialist of robust sensors for embedded measurement introduces a new product. The Texense XN2 is a PCB analog strain gauge amplifier, with high resolution and high speed, with offset and gain adjusted by microcontroller. Because of its small size, the Texense XN2 may be bonded close to the gauges, which will reduce noise on the signal.

When the amplifier is wired to the strain gauge bridge, the customer may, with a single VPROG signal (no use of a computer):

• adjust the offset
• adjust the gain by applying an effort on the part
• start a self training cycle for temperature compensation
• adjust temperature gain compensation depending on part and gauge materials
• check the gauge bridge state

The Texense XN2 simplifies strain gauging because it doesn’t need zeroing, nor temperature compensation for offset or sensitivity. Just bond 1, 2 or 4 gauges on the part, wire them to the amplifier and it will do the job !
