To handle the full range of strain
gauge measuring tasks, HBM has
launched the MX1615 measuring
amplifier module with universal
inputs. The module enables the
connection of up to 16 strain gauge
channels in a variety of
configurations including full-, halfand
quarter-bridge with both 3-wire
and patented Kreuzer 4-wire circuit.
The module enhances measurement flexibility because all channels can also be used to record standardised voltage signals of ±10V as well as temperatures with a PT100 sensor. Each channel can be individ - ually parameterised and is equipped with 24-bit A/D converters.
The data rate of 19.2kHz and the maximum bandwidth of 3kHz per channel ensure that the MX1615 covers a wide analysis range. The excitation voltage of the strain gauge channels can be selected for each channel as a carrier frequency or DC voltage.
