Product Details

The DSCUSB strain gauge to USB converter is a USB strain gauge signal conditioner with the added benefit of a USB interface.  Simply plug the DSCUSB strain gauge to USB converter into your PCs USB port and the data from the strain gauge sensor can be acquired by the free toolkit software.  It comes in a robust ABS IP50 enclosure making it suitable for most environments. 

Ideal Applications for the Strain Gauge to USB Converter

This compact and high performance USB converter is ideal for applications requiring high accuracy measurement and repeatability with simple connectivity in desktop settings. Thanks to its 200 samples per second at 18 bits noise free resolution, it is suitable for high accuracy test & measurement applications, research and development and laboratory environments.

Free Toolkit Software for Data Manipulation

It comes with free toolkit software designed specially for this USB converter.  The toolkit software allows for the logging and manipulation of the data, removing the need for amplifiers, filters & multimeters. The DSCUSB strain gauge to USB converter requires no additional power as it is powered by the USB bus.  

The strain gauge to USB converter is ideal as a 1 to 1 interface.  However this versatile interface can connect with multiple sensors with the use of a suitable hub. Available in ASCII protocol, offering higher resolution and lower temperature drift.

Ideal for all strain gauge bridge based sensors including load, weight, force, torque, pressure & displacement, the device simply plugs into your PC where data can be acquired and manipulated by accompanying software.

Optional Extras

We can supply an optional temperature sensor module (DTEMP) to enable advanced 5-point temperature compensation of measurements if required.

The USB load cell signal converter is also available as a PCB versions suitable for OEM products – speak to our technical sales team.
