LORD MicroStrain to Unveil New Products at Sensors Expo


Visit us at booth #700 for hands-on demonstrations of our sensing technologies including new wireless sensors, new displacement sensors, and a new SensorCloud service to be announced Wednesday June 5th.

  

 

LORD MicroStrain's Chris Townsend will present June 4th on Energy Harvesting Wireless Sensors and June 6th on Cloud-Based Sensor Data Analytics.

 

Tech Tips and Tricks: Using Software Dataloggers with LORD MicroStrain Inertial Sensors 
Barry Trutor
Barry Trutor, Senior Technical Support Engineer, Sensing Systems  

 

This month Barry explains how to configure a 3DM-GX3® Inertial Sensor to continuously record to a data file.

 

In our example, we use a Lord MicroStrain® 3DM-GX3® -45 Miniature GPS-Aided Inertial Navigation System with  RS-232 interface and its accompanying MIP Monitor software to configure the inertial sensor. The inertial sensor is connected to the computer via an RS-232 communication interface. The inertial sensor is pre-programmed to automatically send data when powered. The computer receives the stream of data and the datalogger software continuously records the stream to a data file

Tech Tips and Tricks: Outputting a 4 to 20mA Current Loop

Andrew Deering, Senior Support Engineer
Andrew Deering,  Technical Support Engineer, Sensing Systems  

 

This month Andrew explains how to convert LORD MicroStrain wireless base stations with 0 to 3 volt output to a 4 to 20 mA output using a third party converter.

 

LORD MicroStrain® WSDA® -Base-101-LXRS®  
Wireless Analog Output Base Station supports all data acquisition sessions between wireless nodes and host computers.  As an integral feature, the WSDA® -Base- 101-LXRS® has an analog output back panel that supports analog data acquisition equipment (DAQs). Up to 8 sensor channels from one or multiple wireless nodes can be fed into a DAQ. Each channel on the back panel has a 0 to 3 volt range representing the particular sensor's full scale output. In environments where the 0 to 3 volt  range is not appropriate; LORD MicroStrain Wireless Sensing Systems may be converted to operate with a 4 to 20 mA output range.
