PFI’s Suite of Analog Cards for Dynamic Strain and Bridge Conditioning
Precision Filters’ suite of conditioning cards provides solution for dynamic strain (including high temperature strain) or any bridge-type transducer including pressure sensors, piezo-resistive accelerometers, load cells and more.
The 28458 provides conditioning for 8 channels of dynamic strain measurements. The 28144 and the 28114 provide 4 channels of dual mode measurements, either dynamic strain, static strain or bridge conditioning. All three cards feature PF's Balanced Constant Current™ (BCC™) technology and “on-the-fly” measurement of transducer resistance, excitation and leakage resistance, alerting the operator immediately to an out-of-tolerance condition. Equipped with Precision’s FLAT/PULSE filter technology, these amplifiers provide outstanding response for applications in either the time domain or the frequency domain.
PFI developed the BCC technology – the industries best technique to measure dynamic strain, even in harsh environments, using only a two-wire connection to the gage. The circuit is insensitive to changes in lead resistance with temperature and since the circuit is balanced, the differential input amplifier rejects noise pickup in the leads.
