Micro-Measurements System 7000 builds upon the years of experience gained since the introduction of Systems 4000, 5000, and 6000 by continuing to provide a complete hardware/software approach to data acquisition, reduction, and presentation for strain gages and related sensors for stress analysis testing. System 7000hardware is designed to incorporate all the features required for precision strain measurement in a high channel density enclosure. Strain gages, strain-gage- based transducers, thermocouples, LVDTs, and other sensors with high level voltage outputs can be intermixed in groups of eight (8) by choosing the appropriate sensor card for up to 128 channels in a 4U height, 19-inch rack- mountable scanner (7000-128-SM). A 32-channel scanner is also available (7000-32-SM). The Ethernet interface allows flexible positioning of scanners, and multiple scanners can easily be synchronized using a single sync cable (maximum length 100 meters). A system can be configured with virtually an unlimited number of sensors; please contact our Applications Engineering Department for configuration details. System 7000 is a high performance data acquisition instrument with measurement accuracy of ±0.05% of full scale. Each sensor card employs a 24-bit analog-to-digital converter enabling 0.5 microstrain resolution.
