Model 6037 8-Channel Strain Gage Amplifier-Digitizer

The 6037 has eight channels of strain gage or transducer signal conditioning amplifiers and digitizer. Each channel has programmable voltage excitation, programmable bridge completion and automatic balance, programmable gain instrumentation amplifier, four-pole low-pass filter and sample and hold amplifier. The amplified channel outputs are multiplexed and digitized to 16 bits then provided to the 6000 data bus.

The 6037 is designed for use with strain gages employing the 3-wire connection. It may also be used with ½ and full bridge transducers, potentiometers and low-level voltage signals. Excitation is programmable from 0 to 12 Volts for each channel. Individual excitation regulators and careful routing of power traces and grounds results in less than 0.01% effect due to loading or a short on other channels. A calibration mode is provided for accurate measurement of excitation voltage.

Model 9355 Transducer Amplifier Revision

Pacific Instruments is pleased to announce a 2007 revision to the Model 9355 Transducer Amplifier. First created in 1990 as the Model 9255, this model was updated in 1998 and became the 9355. Through the years, the Model 9355 has become a staple of the Pacific Instruments signal conditioning product line. Over 5500 channels have been sold and continue to remain in service today.

As the Model 9355 aged, however, concerns about its future began to surface, due to many of its components becoming difficult to purchase. Pacific has addressed these issues by freshening up its design. The new 9355 takes advantage of surface mount components as well as an automated assembly process. It has the ability to perform seamlessly with the previous version of 9355 and continues to utilize existing PACWIN93 software.

We are excited about these new changes to the 9355 and look forward to many more years of its service.

Model 6016 32-Channel Digitizer

The 6016 input module has thirty-two input channels that are digitized to 16-bit resolution and output to the Series 6000 data bus. Each channel is capable of digitizing at up to 5,000 samples per second.

The 6016 is used to digitize high level signals, usually the output of signal conditioning amplifiers or other measuring instruments. It is organized as four groups of eight channels. Each group has an eight-channel, differential input multiplexer, unity-gain differential amplifier and analog to digital converter.

Model 6165 Instrumentation Amplifiers

The 6165 is a two-channel amplifier-filter module. Each channel has isolated input, 50 kHz bandwidth and two outputs that can be filtered or wideband. Bandwidth of 100 kHz is optional.

The input is two-wire shielded and is isolated from the outputs, power and control interface. This gives the user complete freedom to ground the input without creating ground loops that introduce noise and offset errors. The isolation provides for operation with up to ±300 Volts of common mode applied to the input.
