Paperless recorder P3

universaldisplaydata logger

Product overview
The Strain Indicator and Data Logger model P3 is a portable, battery-powered instrument that accepts four inputs from quarter-, half- and full-bridge strain gauge circuits, including strain-gauge-based transducers. Waterproof eyelets in the flip lid allow securing connection leads when the lid is closed.

Operation and configuration
The P3 uses a large LCD for setup and data readout and provides an intuitive, menu-driven interface accessed via the front keypad. Configurable options include active input channels, bridge configuration, measurement units, bridge completion, calibration method and recording parameters.

Data recording and transfer
Measurements recorded at a user-selectable rate of up to 1 sample per channel per second are stored on a removable flash card. Data are transferred via USB to a host computer and can be saved, reduced and plotted using the supplied software.
