Does NI offer anything that can handle an AC Excitation similar to the SCXI 1121 which has DC Excitation?

[Joey Wood]

I have a LeBow strain gauge Torque Sensor that requires 10 VAC Excitation does NI have anything to accomodate this? I know the SCXI 1121 handles 10 VDC Excitation.

Joey,

We only offer one SCXI module with VAC excitation, but the highest voltage it can give is 3 Vrms (1-3 Vrms) and in frequency from 2.5 to 10 kHz. You can take a look to it by going to the main page at www.ni.com, and then click on the link for "Product Catalog", then select "Products and Services" and select "Signal Conditioning"... then select "SCXI", then "SCXI Analog Input", and then on the select box that says "Signal Conditioning Feature" select "Excitation"...and then click on the "SCXI 1540" link... or follow this link as well...

In your case if you really need the 10VAC excitation, you most probably are going to need an external excitation source.


Good luck!...
