When the Windmill software takes a reading from a strain gauge bridge, it automatically monitors excitation voltage and calculates the measurement in microstrain.
This eliminates errors due to changes in excitation voltage.
Users can also set a zero reference level and monitor changes relative to that level.
An integrating analogue-to-digital converter reduces noise and the system automatically recalibrates itself.
The 751 SBox accepts four easily connected bridges in quarter or half-bridge configuration.
The modular Windmill software runs under Windows and offers data logging, charting, alarm indication and output control.
