4. Results
This project recommended two alternative signal conditioners for use in Strain and
Pressure Measurement Laboratory and Vibration Measurement Laboratory, and updated the
LabVIEW programs and instruction materials for both laboratories.
4.1 In-Lab Evaluation of Alternative Signal Conditioners
Extensive search for available commercial products, in-lab output testing for selected
potential products, and comparison of set-up procedures are conducted to generate
recommendations for alternative signal conditioners. Test runs of specified labs are conducted to
verify the conclusions.
4.1.1 Basic Information
The basic parameters of Vishay 2310 are compared with potential alternative signal
conditioners in Table 2. The selected products include Omega DMD-465WB Bridge Sensor AC
Powered Signal Conditioner (Omega DMD-465WB), Honeywell UV-10 In-line Amplifier
(Honeywell UV-10), Tacuna Systems Strain Gauge or Load Cell Amplifier/Conditioner Interface
Manual (Tacuna), and DATAQ Instruments DI5B38-04 Strain Gage Input Modules (DATAQ
DI5B38-04). All five systems are single-channeled.
As shown in Table 2, all four alternative systems satisfy the basic requirements regarding
gain and frequency response. Honeywell and Tacuna meet the preferred requirements of
enabling bridge balance and gain indication.
