Fig. 3 The Signal Conditioning Amplifi er System is a fl exible chassis that is specifi cally
confi gured for an SI-MT, SI-HTB or SI-MKB system (Muscle Testers).
INTRODUCTION
The Signal Conditioning Amplifi er System provides a fl exible electronic platform intended
to process the transduction of mechanical signals, the fi ltering of transducer outputs and
the control of motor positions.
The system consists of an 8-slot, rack-mountable frame that includes an ultra quiet,
shielded power supply. Outputs are routed internally to the inputs of other modules. If you
prefer, the module outputs may be routed to external outputs on the front panels. The
system has a small footprint and may be stacked to provide as many optional modules as
you need.
When the system is ordered with an
SI-MT, SI-HTB
or
SI-MKB
(Muscle Tester) system,
the Signal Conditioning Amplifi er System (chassis) is confi gured with an
SI-BAM21-LCB
.
Optional modules include an
SI-TCM2B
Temperature Control Module, an
SI-MOTDB
Linear Motor Controller, an
SI-AOSUB
Anti Oscillation Unit, the
SI-SARCAM
Sarcomere
Spacing Module and the
SI-COLU
Constant Load Unit. The Temperature Control Module,
Linear Motor Controller and Sarcomere Spacing Module require two slots each on the
chassis backplane.
NOTE
: The system is fl exible and confi gurable. A variety of modules are available for the
Signal Conditioning Amplifi er System, and you can mix and match the modules to suit
your requirements. For this manual, we will only discuss the modules used with an
SI-MT,
SI-HTB
or
SI-MKB
system.
