Description
The Multi Data Acquisition Device is a single-channel, USB-powered measurement device for use with resistive strain gages. Internal bridge completion supports quarter, half, and full bridge configurations.
This device is designed for use in applications where a convenient, low-cost, easy-to-use strain gage measurement is required. It is ideal for classroom environments or gage installation verification.
Operation of the StudentDAQ/MultiDAQ is performed with commands sent via a USB connection. User-friendly application software is provided to control the StudentDAQ/MultiDAQ with a Windows-based personal computer. Complete source code, written in National Instruments® LabVIEW® is provided. A .NET interface is also included.
