The Laureate™ load cell and microvoltmeter is a high-sensitivity monitor and controller for use with load cells, strain gauges and microvolt input signals where high accuracy and stability are required.

 

Usage as a DC microvoltmeter provides sensitivity down to 20 mV full scale with 1 µV resolution. With a digital multiplier of five, 99,999 counts can be displayed with a sensitivity of 0.2 µV per count. A moving average filter with a time constant of 1.2 sec or greater should then be selected.

 

Usage as a load cell meter allows six-wire hookup and scaling for direct readout in engineering units, such as pounds, kilograms or PSI. Scaling can be via front panel pushbuttons or a computer. Zero may be set from -99,999 to +99,999. Range may be scaled from 0 to ±99,999. Digital scaling and calibration eliminate drift caused by potentiometers in non-microcomputer based meters.
