DS-16xLVDTr
2.1. Main features
●
LVDT SENSOR INTERFACING: DS-16xLVDTr uses a unique ratiometric architecture to eliminate
several of the disadvantages associated with traditional approaches to LVDT interfacing.
DS-16xLVDTr combines 16 channels of DSI-LVDT adapters in a 19”-rack housing with 1U height.
●
SYNCHRONISATION: Main advantage of new design is a synchronous excitation signal provided
from external function generator to a BNC front connector (IN connector). When using multiple
DS-LVDTr devices the EXC signal can be daisy-chained from the BNC OUT connector to the BNC
IN connector on the other device.
●
CONNECTIVITY: Additionally, there are 16 DSUB-9M (male) connectors on the front panel of
DS-16xLVDTr for the connection to the Dewesoft host amplifier. By each connector is a trimmer
used for phase adjustment. On the back panel are 16 DSUB-9F (female) connectors for the sensor
connection. DS-16xLVDTr supports measurements with full-bridge and half-bridge LVDT sensor
types.
