The
Model 15A12 DC/AC Strain Gage Amplifier is a dual channel, high
gain, low noise, very stable DC amplifier with versatile input switching
to permit operation as an AC amplifier.
The
15A12 is intended to provide a signal conditioning interface for
transducers and other signals. See Transducers
for details. The LCD displays continuously monitor the output and
simplify setup and calibration. The 15A12 occupies one slot of the
Model 15LT bin.
Transducer
excitation, balancing circuitry, amplification and filtering are
standard features. With appropriate sensors, the 15A12 can process
signals such as pressure, force, temperature and many others. The
AC input switch positions provide an excellent interface for EEG,
EMG, EOG, ECG and other bioelectric signals.
Some
typical applications for the 15A12 include multiple channel in-vitro
tissue baths, cardiovascular measurements, pulmonary mechanics,
gut motility studies and many more.
A
complete, stand-alone Data Acquisition and Analysis System can be
created by combining the 15A94 or the 15A54 High Performance AC
Amplifier with the 15A12 DC/AC Amplifier and PolyVIEW16
Data Acquisition and Analysis software packages.
