Signal Conditioners 101

/in ,

Interface Signal Conditioners are used with a wide range of load cell and force measurement devices. Transducers convert force or weight into an electrical signal. The output signal of a load cell is typically in the form of a small electrical voltage that is proportional to the applied force. Primary features of signal conditioners include amplification, filtering, isolation, and linearization. As detailed in Signal Conditioners 101, it can perform various functions depending on the specific application and the type of signals.

Calibration Curve 101

/in ,

Interface Calibration Curve 101 defines why the calibration curve is essential for ensuring the accuracy of force measurements. The calibration curve allows for the determination of the load cell's sensitivity, linearity, and any potential adjustments or corrections needed to improve its accuracy. For traceability, serves as a reference to convert the load cell's output signal into meaningful and calibrated measurements when the load cell is used for force or weight measurement applications. Interface recommends all load cells be calibrated annually, at a minimum.
