Offset Compensation Using WinDaq Software
Data Acquisition > Software > WinDaq In the real world, transducers can exhibit some initial offset. This fact often times is discovered in the field when, given the conditions of a “resting state,” we expect that it will produce an output of zero volts. It is quite natural to expect a transducer to behave this Read More
How Much ADC Resolution Do You Really Need?
Data Acquisition or Data Logger You just bought a data logger or data acquisition system with a 14-bit ADC (analog-to-digital converter.) What exactly does that mean? Could you have gotten away with a 12-bit product? A 10-bit? Did you gaffe and really need a 16-bit data logger? You know that a higher “bit” number is Read More
How To Calibrate Strain Gage-Based Transducers Using DI-5B38 Strain Amplifiers
Data Acquisition > Mixed Measurements The proper calibration of strain gage-based transducers can be a tricky exercise. You need to consider the gage factor of the transducer (GT), the gage factor of the amplifier module (GA), excitation voltage requirements and gain. With this information at hand, you can accurately measure psi, microstrain, lbs or any Read More
Connection and Calibration of Strain-Gage Based Transducers Using DI-8B38 Series Amplifiers
Data Acquisition > Mixed Measurements This application note demonstrates the proper connection and calibration of a strain-gage based transducer connected to a DI-8B38 series amplifier. For this example we’ll use a strain-gage based pressure transducer with a 10,000 PSI capacity, an excitation (supply voltage) requirement of 10V and a gage factor (output) of 2mV/V. We’ll Read More

How To Make 4-20 mA Current Loop Measurements
Data Acquisition > Current Additional Reading: 4-20 mA Shunt Resistor and Current Loop Data Acquisition Products It seems that at least one 4-20 mA (milliamp) measurement is required by our typical customer, and the way to do it is a constant source of confusion for many. So I thought I’d zero in on the various Read More
