CellMite® Quad AC/DC Mixed LVDT and Force Measurement Digital Signal Conditioner

Powerful load cell and LVDT electronics!

The CellMite® 4336 Quad AC/DC is a 4-channel intelligent digital signal conditioner that connects directly to two AC LVDT transducers and two DC strain gage force transducers and provides direct digital data input into the serial port of a standard PC.

Precision AC sine wave excitation voltages to power the LVDT's and precision DC excitation voltages to power the force strain gage bridges are generated by the unit. Internal signal conditioning with filtering is applied to all channels and the digitized data is sent in serial form to a standard PC.

The CellMite® 4336 Quad also simultaneously generates +/-10V analog outputs; one that tracks a user-selected LVDT channel and one that tracks a user-specified force channel. When used in combination with CellView Multi-Display GUI software, a complete data acquisition system is formed with synchronized data storage of all channels in an Excel compatible file, and real-time simultaneous viewing of all channels utilizing up to 8 user-specified software displays.

The CellMite® 4336 Quad AC/DC independently compensates each channel's transducer nonlinearities using its integrated 6-point calibration capability not found in standard signal conditioners. The unit has full range tare capability for the LVDT and strain gage force channels, and dual internal precision shunt resistors for the force channels.

The CellMite® 4336 features include nonvolatile memory for parameter and calibration storage, the ability to select between 3 stored LVDT calibrations for the two LVDT channels, and the ability to select between 3 stored force transducers for the two strain gauge force channels. Also featured are multi-point and mV/V calibration, remote sense excitation, 24-bit internal resolution with 16-bit analog output, and RS232 serial data output that is compatible with off-the-shelf serial to USB converter cables.
