The DSCUSB is a compact, high performance digital signal conditioner with USB connectivity aimed at applications which require high-accuracy measurement repeatability. An option of a rugged metal enclosure makes the device suitable for all environments. Simply by plugging the device into a PC, data can be extracted from most strain gauge bridge input sensors and acquired by software which allows data manipulation. No additional power supply is required. Although ideal for 1 to 1 interface the device can connect with multiple sensors with the use of a suitable hub. Available in ASCII protocol.

Communications (USB)
The Load Cell to USB Adaptor will communicate as a simple serial device rather than a ‘native’ USB device. Once the device is plugged into a PC and the supplied drivers are installed, the device will appear as a Virtual Serial Port to the PC. Mantracourt will also supply a driver for its own ‘Instrument Explorer’ software. Because each device, when plugged into a PC, creates an additional serial port, the total number of devices that can be attached to the PC may be limited by the communication software’s ability to utilise these multiple ports i.e. an existing communication program may only support COM1 to COM4.
