Description

Description:

The ProDAQ 6172 is an LXI instrument designed for 8-channel galvanically isolated precision strain gage measurements. It supports ¼, ½ and full-bridge completion with 120Ω and 350Ω strain gage completion resistors fitted as standard. It provides an easy to use, cost effective solution for the most demanding strain gage or IEPE/IPC measurement applications.

Each channel is galvanically isolated from any other and also from the chassis, with a working isolation voltage up to 300VDC. This allows any channel not only to float to different common-mode voltage potentials but also eliminates the possibility of ground loop error.

As a standalone LXI instrument the ProDAQ 6172 can be directly connected to your network and operated either through the built-in web pages or alternatively integrated into your data acquisition application using the VISA-based industry standard plug & play drivers provided. Multiple devices can be synchronized via the IEEE1588 precision time protocol or optionally via the LXI trigger bus. The unit is equipped with a redundant power supply and two Ethernet ports.
