Description
The Model 5100 Scanner is sized for standard 19-in (483-mm) instrumentation racks. Cabinets are available for various system configurations for bench-top or field use.



Model 5100 Scanner Front Panel

Sensor connections are quickly made to the cards at the rear of each scanner in System 5000. Strain gage cards include built-in bridge completion for quarter and half bridges, and a constant voltage power supply for 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, and 10 Vdc bridge excitation.

Since each Model 5100 Scanner can function independently, your System 5000 components can be easily configured for each test requirement. A 100-channel system, for example, can be used as five independent 20-channel systems simply by purchasing additional software/interface hardware installations.
