LXRS & LXRS+ Wireless Protocols
This article will attempt to explain the difference between the LORD Sensing MicroStrain term LXRS and their new LXRS+ wireless communication protocol. Lossless eXtended Range Synchronized is the proprietary LORD Sensing data communications protocol used in their wireless sensor network. It was initially developed in 2013 to support applications includingRead More
Traceable Accelerometer Calibration at Temperature
Many vibration tests are carried out under the influence of temperature, whereby accelerometers are attached to the vibration exciter and/or to the device under test. These are thus exposed to temperatures which can be far above or below room temperature, which is where the sensors are usually calibrated. Calibration ofRead More
Migrating from GX4 to GX5 Inertial Sensors
The 3DM-GX5 is the latest generation of the LORD MicroStrain 3DM-GX series of IMU, VG, AHRS, and GPS-INS sensors. This is truly a “drop-in” replacement for the previous-generation GX4 inertial sensors, making it extremely simple to upgrade. The GX5 shares the same extended temperature range operation, footprint, rugged aluminium case,Read More
New G-Link-200 Wireless Accelerometer
LORD MicroStrain have recently introduced the new G-Link-200-8G ruggedized high-speed triaxial accelerometer node with user settable ± 2 to ± 8 g measurement range. The G-Link-200-8G includes an on-board triaxial accelerometer that allows high-resolution data acquisition at noise levels as low as 25 μg/√Hz, and the accelerometers have a bandwidthRead More
CoreSens Electronics for Fibre-optic Sensors
New from Opsens Solutions is the CoreSens electronic unit that is a versatile, scalable system which includes a control unit and modular signal conditioner unit (WLX-2 module) that supports a variety of fibre optic sensors. Each WLX-2 module has two channels to optimise the number of sensors per chassis. TheRead More
Eddy Current Sensor Electronics
New from ACUITY is the AR-Eddy, which is a digitally corrected eddy current signal conditioner designed to work with a wide variety of eddy current sensors. The AR-Eddy is easy to setup and calibrate via a USB interface and the provided software. The AR-Eddy can used to achieve high performanceRead More
Two new Triaxial Accelerometers from Dytran
High Sensitivity, 160°C IEPE Triaxial Accelerometers Dytran have recently introduced a 100mV/g, isolated triaxial accelerometer, able to withstand temperatures up to 160°C for continuous use. The model 3543A case isolated sensor can be placed in the hotter sections under the car bonnet, and are ideal for the general measurement ofRead More
High Sensitivity Triaxial Accelerometers
Dytran have recently introduced a 500mV/g lower cost triaxial accelerometer. The models 3583AT and 3583BT offer high sensitivity with a low noise output. Both are IEPE type sensors and are TEDS compatible, with the 3583AT being adhesive mount, and the 3583BT being stud mount. These accelerometers utilise shear design piezoelectricRead More
Multi-Channel Capacitive Amplifier
Capacitec have recently announced a brand new line of switching multi-channel amplifiers for use with their extensive range of capacitive non-contact displacement, gap and bore sensors. The new 508-SW multiple channel signal conditioner returns excellent linearity & stability across up to 8 channels with power & data output via USBRead More
New V-Link-200 Wireless Node
LORD Sensing MicroStrain has introduced a new version of their popular wireless multi-channel node. The V-Link-200 Wireless 8-Channel Analogue Input Sensor Node features 4 differential input channels with optional single strain gauge bridge completion, 4 single ended ±10 volt input channels, and an internal temperature sensor channel. This new designRead More
