INTERFACE TECH TALK Resistance Output Vs Rated Output

Resistance Output Versus Rated Output

Rated Output (RO) is the dynamic electrical signal that directly represents the applied mechanical force. Resistance Output is a static electrical characteristic of the load cell's internal circuitry. When you are performing force measurements, you are primarily interested in the Rated Output. This value, in conjunction with your excitation voltage, enables you to accurately convert the measured millivolt signal into engineering units of force in lbf or Newtons. Discover how load cells work at the ultimate force measurement resource hub, Interface ForceEDU.

INTERFACE 101 ADC

Analog-to-Digital Converters 101

Interface analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are vital in advanced force measurement systems. These devices connect the analog output of force transducers to digital inputs for data acquisition and analysis. Interface load cells, torque transducers, and multi-axis sensors produce a small analog voltage proportional to the applied force. This signal needs careful conditioning and conversion before it can be used for logging, viewing, and analysis. The ADC carries out this important conversion, changing the continuous analog voltage into a discrete digital representation.
