Signal Conditioning Amplifier System, Vishay Model A2
The A2 is an analog signal conditioner and amplifier
system for strain gauges, strain-gauge-based transducers,
thermocouples and various other sensors with high-level
signals. Scalable in multiples of eight channels
to a maximum of 128 for each system, the A2 features
digital control of the system instrumentation
and monitoring of the analog outputs, both locally
on the control panel and remotely by Ethernet
from a PC. The Model A2 is an embedded web server.
All system, card and channel settings are accessible
using simple HTTP (hypertext transfer protocol)
commands or by using the graphical user interface
provided by the system. Ordinary web browsers,
such as Internet Explorer, can be used to control
the system. The A2 is specially designed to function
as the front-end for DAQ's and recorders accepting
high-level analog signals.
Features:
• Strain gauge, transducer and thermocouple inputs
• Frequency response to 110 kHz
