Interface provides technical specifications, pinouts, and wiring documentation for load cells, torque transducers, multi-axis sensors, and instrumentation for each product. Achieving high-accuracy measurement data depends completely on the integrity of the electrical connections between the sensor and the instrumentation. Simple wiring errors or incorrect pin mapping can result in inverted data, thermal drift, or irreversible damage to components in the data acquisition system. Interface Support offers Electrical Wiring and Diagrams resources, including cable, connector, and assembly wiring colors and references.

Interface details stress testing versus strain testing using force measurement sensors to quantify material deformation and internal resistive forces. Distinguishing between stress and strain is critical for defining test parameters, selecting sensor capacities, and interpreting data from a material’s elastic and plastic regions.

Interface 101 series details high-fidelity (Hi-Fi), a term referencing how accurately a measurement system reproduces the characteristics of a physical input. Load cell users may require a high-fidelity system where the digital output precisely reflects the mechanical force applied to the sensor. This integrity must be maintained throughout the entire signal chain, from the physical deformation of the strain gage to the final data output. Hi-Fi is very important in aerospace, additive manufacturing, and product efficiency such as lightweighting.
