===X-Pod Strain gauge Bridge=== | |||
OROS analyzers feature optional Wheatstone bridge conditioner. The scope of this document is to provide the information for the bridge connections on the Xpod connectors. | |||

* '''Bridge max current''': Select the max excitation current for the corresponding active Bridge Xpod. Each bridge Xpod excitation current can be limited to 30 mA up to 4 V and 12 mA up to 10 V. | |||
* '''Bridge voltage''': Select the excitation voltage for the corresponding active Bridge Xpod. From 0 to 10 V. | |||
* '''Cold Compensation''':''' '''Enable or disable the internal cold junction compensation for the corresponding active Temperature Xpod. This setting enables the compensation of the connectors metal junction thermocouple voltage at the Xpod side. It uses the Xpod internal temperature measurement (2 locations/Xpod) to correct the measured temperatures. | |||
The XPod Bridge conditioner extension module is for strain gauges, dynamic pressure, force and acceleration measurements. | |||
*'''Type:''' bridge signal conditioning for strain gage. <br> | |||
*'''Gauge type''': Full, Half or Quarter bridge mount. The completion resistors are included in the Xpod.<br> | |||
*'''Resistance''': Bridge completion resistor: 120 or 350 Ohms for quarter bridge mount.<br> | |||
*'''Gain''': Bridge gain: 10 or 100 depending on the required precision and range.<br> | |||
*'''Max current''': the provided current can be limited to 30 mA up to 4 V and 12 mA up to 10 V.<br> | |||
*'''Excitation voltage''': Each Xpod provides an excitation voltage from 0 to 10 V.<br> | |||
*'''Offset Comp.''': Bridge offset comp: Can be used for manual balance of the bridge.<br> | |||
