Using Instrumentation to Set Alarms for Force and Torque Measurements

September 25, 2025

Interface load cells and transducers are often paired with instrumentation devices that include alarm features to create a system that can monitor data from the sensors and trigger alerts when specific conditions are met. Instrumentation alarms are crucial for safety, process control, equipment protection, and quality assurance in various industrial and laboratory settings.

Connectors 101

April 8, 2025

Interface connectors are the critical link that physically and electrically connects a sensor's cable end to a corresponding receptacle on the instrumentation device. When selecting a cable for your test and measurement application, always consider the connector type at both ends to ensure compatibility and optimal performance. Use Interface guides to make the right connection between your load cell and data acquisition system.

Analog-to-Digital Converters 101

February 11, 2025

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.
