New Application Note: Tracked Vehicle Sensing Systems

 

Tracked Vehicle Health Monitoring
Off-highway ground vehicles are exposed to harsh and variable operating conditions.  
Tracked ground vehicles are especially vulnerable to wear and misalignment.
 

LORD MicroStrain Sensing Systems provides embedded wireless solutions for monitoring the health of critical components including  

track wear, structural

 loads, weld fatigue, engine health, and more.

 

 

Tech Tips and Tricks: 350 and 1000 ohm Tester Board for V-Link-LXRS and SG-Link-LXRS Wireless Sensor Nodes

This month Traci explains the calibration of the DVRT-Link-LXRS wireless displacement node and its DVRT Displacement Transducer:

 

The 

   

Wireless Displacement Node supports all LORD MicroStrain DVRT Displacement Transducers

 

.  Each DVRT is calibrated at the factory with its particular DVRT-Link-LXRS.  The factory calibration is stored in the non-volatile memory (EEPROM) of the DVRT-Link-LXRS 

 

and will be read by Node Commander software.  This technical note provides further understanding of this calibration.
