Use SCXI Advisor to configure an SCXI data acquisition system based on this module.
The National Instruments SCXI-1520 is an 8-channel universal strain gage input module that offers all of the features you need for simple or advanced strain measurements. With this single module, you can read signals from strain, force, torque, and pressure sensors. The NI SCXI-1520 includes an onboard reference for automatic calibration in changing environments. It offers a programmable amplifier and programmable 4-pole Butterworth filter on each channel. Each channel also has an independent 0 to 10 V programmable excitation source. In addition, the SCXI-1520 system offers a half-bridge completion resistor network in the module and a socketed 350 Ω quarter-bridge completion resistor in the SCXI-1314 terminal block. A 120 Ω quarter-bridge completion resistor is also included with the terminal block.
The SCXI-1600USB data acquisition module can be used in conjunction with this module to create a completely plug-and-play USB data acquisition system. An SCXI chassis is required to house the SCXI-1600 and assorted SCXI modules for a particular system. The SCXI-1000 chassis is capable of holding up to four modules while the SCXI-1001 can hold up to 12.
