Presently, strain/stress measuring instruments are
required not only to enable stable measurement of
microvolt signals in indoor and outdoor applications
but also to provide data processing capability for
compact portable packages.
Furthermore, recent advancements in electronics
and the trends in information-related fields toward
multimedia and downsizing have generated
diversified needs including:
-Simultaneous measurement of static or dynamic
variables ranging from strain/stress to load,
pressure, acceleration, displacement, torque,
temperature and frequency using not only strain
gages and transducers but also voltage-output
sensors, thermocouples and pulse-output sensors
-Real-time monitoring to enable smooth
measurement under the engineer's judgment and
control
-Statistic processing and waveform analysis of
variables under measurement for time and labor
savings
-Unattended wireless operation
