I have an SCXI-1531,1126,1120D (with 1327) connected to PCI-6052E. How can I measure an ICP force sensor with some/all of this?

As I understand it, I may only need to use the 1531. Although it says it is used for accelerometers, it sounds like the techincal specifications of the card are adequate. I will be measuring in the range of 30 Hz with force sensors. The sensors are made by PCB Piezoelectronics, model 201B02. This equipment was somewhat inhereted, so I don't really know what of it I must use, or how. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Dave,

It appears that your force sensor is compatible with the SCXI-1531. This module supports all Integrated Electronic Piezoelectric (IEPE) sensors. Thus, it is not limited to accelerometers. I examined the data sheet for your sensor, and it indicates that a Constant Current Excitation of 2 to 20 mA is required. The SCXI-1531 provides a constant current excitation of 4 mA. In the same way, it appears that the other specifications of your sensor are compatible with the SCXI-1531.

Good luck with your application.
