Interface sells a wide variety of instruments designed to help take data measured on a load cell or torque transducer and convert it into a readable form. There are many types of instrumentation available, and we continue to add new and updated products each month.

Analog output for test and measurement instrumentation has been the most popular for decades. Analog signals are sent in a continuous stream, faster than digital and easier to work with. Additionally, analog systems take up far less bandwidth than digital.

Growing in use are the many options for digital instrumentation, including indicators, transmitters, controllers, converters, output modules, data acquisition systems, wireless technologies, and supporting software.  These instruments take load cell or strain bridge input and deliver data output in a variety of protocol and bus formats. Digital instrumentation provides greater measurement accuracy and digital resolution.

Choosing Between Analog and Digital Instrumentation

When deciding between analog and digital instrumentation output capabilities, here are a few questions to add to your evaluation:

  1. Are you connecting to an existing network?
  2. Are you connecting to an existing digital acquisition device?
  3. What is your budget?
  4. How many sensors are you connecting?

Understanding which output, whether analog or digital, is an important starting point when selecting the right instrumentation. Read Instrumentation Analog Versus Digital Outputs to get answers and insights into these questions, along with the benefits of each type of output.

Whether you need a basic signal conditioner that converts mV to analog output or a multi-channel data acquisition system and amplifier, be sure to view all your options in our Interface Instrumentation Product Overview and Interface Digital Instrumentation Product Overview. Watch our recorded event, Instructional on Instrumentation, to learn more.

Weighing In on Accurate Measurements

Determining accurate weight is a key data point that product engineers and equipment manufacturers require across all types of industries. Whether they need the weight data for transporting an object, lifting the object, or using weight in a design specification, accuracy in weight measurements is fundamental for safety and function.

For a quick review, check out these diverse weighing applications using Interface sensors and technologies, including our SPI Platform Scale Load Cells, WTS 1200 Standard Precision LowProfile™ Wireless Load Cells, Interface Model MB Miniature Beam, and our 482 Battery Powered Bidirectional Weight Indicator.

Large and small objects can differ greatly in the weighing methods and types of sensors that will provide the most accurate data. Will the sensor be manufactured into machines for continuous weight monitoring, or will it be used in conjunction with other hardware components as a system? Case in point, read more about how the waste management industry uses Interface solutions. To construct the best accurate weighing solution for your exact requirements, contact our application engineers.

Machine and Equipment Manufacturers Use Interface Products for Performance Data

For innovators in equipment and machine manufacturing, data is everything. Quality data can make the difference between average and high-quality products. In the lab and while in production, every bit of test and measurement output allows OEMs to make improvements in performance and accuracy before the release of the product. 

This is especially true in the design, test, and evaluation of high-volume manufacturing where an increasing number of companies are implementing automation to speed production. To ensure consistent and repeatable quality, it’s important that there are capabilities to constantly gather data and monitor automated systems. If a machine is about to break or needs calibration, an automated system should be able to notify them without any human intervention. Read more about OEM use cases and solutions here.
