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.
INTERFACE TECH TALK LOAD CELL CONDITIONING

What is Load Cell Conditioning?

Interface Tech Talk defines load cell conditioning as taking the native signal from a load cell and converting it into a form for further processing or display. The raw signal from a load cell is in the millivolt range. Load cell conditioning is valuable for amplifying, filtering, and converting the raw signal from a load cell.
