The Metrolog SD20 is a “Plug and Play” USB signal conditioner for industrial, laboratory and academic applications.
Its design allows quick and simple real time readout visualization and signal sample acquisition. No complex setup or calibration procedures are required by the user.
Supplied to the user paired with a specific transducer (pressure, force, temperature, among others), all transducer’s characteristics and calibration data is saved into the device flash memory prior shipment.
Features
Compatible with pressure sensors, load cells, inclinometers, among other sensors.
Direct power supply from the USB bus for both conditioner and sensor, without the need of external power supply.
SD20 DataLogger software included for easy readout visualization and data sample acquisition.
State-of-the-art signal conditioner featuring a 24-bit high precision A/D converter and internal linearization lookup table with more than 500,000 reference points.
Open communication protocol, allowing user application development and connectivity with many commercial software.
