Flexible strain gauge measurement with Q.series of Gantner Instruments

Q.bloxx A106 – the universal 2channel measurement modules

Gantner Instruments: The measuring module Q.bloxx A106 provides for flexible and uncompromising strain gauge bridge measurement 2 galvanically isolated analog input channels for strain gauge quarter, half and full bridges and inductive bridges. The sensor connection is made, including sensor cables to compensate for cable influences (keyword 6 wire circuit).

The transducer excitation can be individually configured depending on the application and ambient conditions per channel:

• DC voltage for dynamic measurements, long cable lengths and high-impedance sensor,
• 600 Hz carrier frequency for low frequency measurements with excellent stability, low susceptibility to interference and also large cable lengths and high-impedance sensor, or
• 4.8 kHz carrier frequency for dynamic, high noise immunity, and also for inductive transducers.

Other features include: Measuring ranges of 1.25 mV / V to 1000 mV / V, 2 analog outputs, one digital input and one digital output per channel, fast signal conditioning such as high-pass, low-pass, linearization, Min, Max, arithmetic and alarm.

The user-friendly software allows you to configure each channel according to the application.
