8-Channel Strain Gage Simulator Board, 1000 Ohm

The DNx-AO-358-102 board is an 8-Channel, 1000 Ohm full bridge strain gage simulator boards designed for use in UEI’s popular Cube and RACKtangle chassis respectively. The board is based on actual variable resistors and will precisely duplicate the behavior of the gauges simulated.

This boards is an ideal solution for simulator applications where an on-board system device is expecting a strain gauge as an input and are also an excellent solution for testing and diagnosing errors in a variety of strain gage based systems.

The DNx-AO-358 boards are available in two configurations. The standard board supports simulation of full bridge strain gages while the -QH versions support quarter and half bridge configurations. DNx-AO-358 is available in the standard 350 (DNx-AO-358-350) and 1000 (DNx-AO-358-102) Ohm configurations. Other resistance values are available on a special order basis. DNx-AO-358 series boards are compatible with both DC and AC excitations and offers AC throughput bandwidth greater than 250 kHz.

All connections are made through a convenient 62-pin D connector ensuring OEMs may easily obtain mating cables or connectors. Users may also connect DNx-AO-358 boards to our popular DNA-STP-62 screw terminal panel via the DNA-CBL-62 cable. The cables are fully shielded and are available in 2.5, 10 and 20 foot length.

Software is included, providing a comprehensive, yet easy-to-use API that supports all popular operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and most real-time operating systems—such as QNX, Intime, VXworks, and more. Additionally, the UEIDAQ Framework—an even higher level Windows driver—supplies complete support for those creating applications in many popular Windows programming languages, as well as data acquisition software packages such as LabVIEW and MATLAB/Simulink.
