How To Connect and Calibrate Thermocouples Using DI-8B47 Series Amplifiers

Data Acquisition > Thermocouple Thanks to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), thermocouple wire is color coded to indicate thermocouple type and polarity. This takes the guesswork out of connecting thermocouple wires to your DI-718B, DI-718Bx, or DI-788. In this example, we’ll show you how to connect and calibrate a K-type thermocouple using a DI-718B, Read More

Six Ways To Deploy Model DI-71X Ethernet Data Loggers and Data Acquisition Systems

Data Acquisition > Ethernet Introduction Of all the ways you can connect a data logger or data acquisition system to a PC, none is more flexible, or offers more exciting possibilities than Ethernet. This application note explores six approaches to deploying Ethernet versions of our DI-71X Data Logger products (DI-710, -715B, -718B). I hope that Read More

IP Address Configuration for DI-71X-E Data Loggers

Data Acquisition > Ethernet DI-71X Ethernet data loggers and WinDaq Data Acquisition software make data acquisition over any network a snap. You can access your DI-71X Ethernet device over a local area network, remotely over a sub-network through a router or even over the internet! In this application note I’ll outline the basic networking principles Read More

Offset Compensation Using WinDaq Software

Data Acquisition > Software > WinDaq In the real world, transducers can exhibit some initial offset. This fact often times is discovered in the field when, given the conditions of a “resting state,” we expect that it will produce an output of zero volts. It is quite natural to expect a transducer to behave this Read More

How Much ADC Resolution Do You Really Need?

Data Acquisition or Data Logger You just bought a data logger or data acquisition system with a 14-bit ADC (analog-to-digital converter.) What exactly does that mean? Could you have gotten away with a 12-bit product? A 10-bit? Did you gaffe and really need a 16-bit data logger? You know that a higher “bit” number is Read More

How To Calibrate Strain Gage-Based Transducers Using DI-5B38 Strain Amplifiers

Data Acquisition > Mixed Measurements The proper calibration of strain gage-based transducers can be a tricky exercise. You need to consider the gage factor of the transducer (GT), the gage factor of the amplifier module (GA), excitation voltage requirements and gain. With this information at hand, you can accurately measure psi, microstrain, lbs or any Read More

Connection and Calibration of Strain-Gage Based Transducers Using DI-8B38 Series Amplifiers

Data Acquisition > Mixed Measurements This application note demonstrates the proper connection and calibration of a strain-gage based transducer connected to a DI-8B38 series amplifier. For this example we’ll use a strain-gage based pressure transducer with a 10,000 PSI capacity, an excitation (supply voltage) requirement of 10V and a gage factor (output) of 2mV/V. We’ll Read More
