POWER SUPPLY

RATING
IP50

The DSCUSB strain gauge to USB converter is a compact, high performance strain gauge digital signal conditioner with USB connectivity, aimed at applications which require high-accuracy measurement repeatability.


Ideal for all strain gauge bridge based sensors, the device simply plugs into your PC, where data can be acquired and manipulated by accompanying software. This removes the need for amplifiers, filters and multimeters. No additional power supply is required either, as power is drawn from the USB bus.



Its rugged ABS IP50 enclosure makes the DSCUSB suitable for all environments.


Although ideal for 1 to 1 interface, the DSCUSB can also connect to multiple sensors through the use of a suitable hub. It will communicate as a simple serial device rather than a ‘native’ USB device - once the device is plugged into a PC and the supplied drivers are installed, the device will appear as a Virtual Serial Port to the PC.


Typical applications for the DSCUSB digitiser module are those requiring simple sensor connectivity in desktop settings, such as test and measurement, R&D and laboratory environments.
