Features up to 128 channels; Supports Strain
Gage, Strain-Gage-Based Transducer, Thermocouple, LVDTs and
High-Level Voltage Sensor Inputs.
The Micro-Measurements® brand of Vishay Precision Group, Inc.
(NYSE: VPG) today announced that it has introduced a new high
performance data acquisition system featuring a scanner with up to
128 software-configurable input channels. The System 7100
StrainSmart® Data Acquisition System offers high-accuracy, greater
flexibility and ease-of-use for a broad range of applications
including design verification of engineered products, component
failure analysis, test & measurement, as well as consumer
product development.

Each of the System 7100’s sensor channel employs a 24-bit
analog-to-digital converter and supports synchronized scan rates of
up to 2000 updates per second for simultaneous reading of all
sensor inputs. The System 7100 can accept signals from strain gages
(strain gauges) or strain-gage-based transducers, thermocouples, or
high-level voltage sensors. Strain gage channels support full-,
half-, or quarter-bridge configurations, and offer built-in
precision bridge completion for 120 Ω, 350 Ω, and 1000 Ω.
The System 7100 offers easy setup and can be configured with a
virtually unlimited number of sensors using multiple scanners. Its
built-in self-calibration capability with removable reference (VCAL
module) enables calibration to be performed anywhere without the
need to return the system to the factory. In addition, the System
7100 provides the following features for lower
cost-of-ownership:
- All channels are fully synchronous (channel to channel and
scanner to scanner).
- Ethernet interface enables maximum installation
flexibility.
- RJ45 connectors and standard TC connectors for thermocouples
allows for fast connection of sensors.
- StrainSmart 7100 software offers fast setup – from installation
to fully-calibrated data in minutes.
- Barcode scanning of MM strain gage engineering data eliminates
user input errors.
- PCBA analysis module (to IPC/JEDEC 9704A) provides for fast
pass/fail and strain rate reporting.
The System 7100 hardware incorporates all the features required
for precision strain measurement in a high channel density
enclosure. Strain gages, strain gage based transducers,
thermocouples, LVDTs, and other sensors with high level voltage
outputs can be intermixed in groups of eight (8) by choosing the
appropriate sensor card for up to 128 channels in a 5U height,
19-inch rack mountable scanner (7100-128-SM). A 32-channel scanner
is also available (7100-32-SM). The Ethernet interface with DHCP
addressing allows for flexible positioning of scanners with easy
synchronization of multiple scanners using a single sync cable.
