Model 2210A
Signal Conditioning
Amplifier
|
Description
Among the features of the 2210A Amplifier are
isolated constant-voltage/constant-current
excitation, guarded input structure with
+
350V common-mode capability,
+
10V and tape outputs, automatic wide-range bridge
balance and four-pole Bessel low-pass filter.
Operating controls of the 2210A Amplifier are
conveniently arranged and clearly marked to minimize
the possibility of operator error. Constant-voltage
or constant-current excitation, calibration
configuration, and other optional operating modes are
selected by easily accessible internal switches or
jumpers.
