Each month we offer a new technical note from our support team, Traci Barrows, Andrew Deering and Barry Trutor. This month Traci explains how to use LORD MicroStrain's DEMOD-DC® Miniature In-Line Signal Conditioner with the V-Link®-LXRS 8 Channel Wireless Analog Sensor Node and SG-Link®-LXRS 3 Channel Wireless Analog Sensor Node.

LORD MicroStrain's V-Link®-LXRS™ and SG-Link®-LXRS™ (including SG-Link®-OEM-LXRS™ and SG-Link®-OEM-LS) wireless analog sensor nodes have single ended analog input channels designed to acquire and digitize any 0-3 volts DC sensor at 12 bits and transmit the data wirelessly to a host computer. LORD MicroStrain's DEMOD-DC® miniature signal conditioner accepts DC power and provides trimmed analog output for any of LORD MicroStrain's DVRT® displacement transducers. The DEMOD-DC® can be connected to the V-Link®-LXRS™ and SG-Link®-LXRS™ single ended analog channels, and its analog displacement data can be digitized and transmitted to a host computer. This technical note discusses how to do this integration and assumes the user has some familiarity with the devices and Node Commander® software.
