Interface single-channel USB module can collect data directly from transducers

The Model INF-USB3 USB single-channel PC interface module by Interface

Durham Instruments collaborates with Interface Force Measurement Solutions to supply innovative measurement solutions to Canadian businesses – like the Model INF-USB3 USB single-channel PC interface module. This sensor-to-USB output converter makes any load cell USB-compatible and offers an easy interface for collecting information from an Interface transducer directly into a computer.

With one output module and software, the INF-USB3 module system can process up to 5,000 samples per second.

Easy USB connection

The included graphic and logging software operates well for convenient testing and monitoring applications, benefiting from immediate evaluation or collection for later research. Among the other notable features of this single-channel PC interface module are easy USB connection to load and torque transducers, 16-bit resolution, data logged into MS Excel-compatible CSV file format, a shunt calibration trigger via software, and environmental sealing to an IP67 rating. The INF-USB3 works with transducers of varying outputs: millivolt per volt; VDC; 4-20mA; or 5V TTL. The system also includes USB connection to the computer and the software.

Other technical specifications of the INF-USB3:

• Size: body length of 101.6 millimetres (mm), width of 25.4 mm.
• Power supply from USB: 4-6 VDC less than or equal to 350 mA.
• Temperature drift: four counts per ten degrees Celsius.
• Nonlinearity: 0.1 per cent.
• Accuracy: 0.1 per cent.
• Zero point: zero counts.
• Nominal temperature range: ten to 40 degrees Celsius.
• Operating temperature range: zero to 50 degrees Celsius.
• Storage temperature range: minus ten to 70 degrees Celsius.
