Leadwires, properly selected and installed,
should play a passive, yet critical, role in strain
measurement. Their primary function is to deliver
power to those portions of the strain gage circuit
remote from the measurement instrument and to
retrieve the strain-induced measurement signal from
the gage installations. Ideally, leadwires take
nothing from the measurement signal and add nothing
to it.
While all leadwires do influence the signal to some extent in actual practice, Micro-Measurements offers a complete line of wires and cables which can be used to minimize leadwire errors. Following is a brief outline of the more important selection considerations: |
