Frequency Characteristics and Step-Response Settling Times:
AFTER THE FIXED ANALOG FILTER or AFTER +PEAK IN "TRACK" MODE:
3 dB down at 2 KHz; 60 dB down at 16 kHz. Settling Time to 1% of final value:
0.6 msec; to 0.1% of final value: 0.75 msec; to 0.02% of final value: 1.25 msec
AFTER +PEAK IN "PEAK" MODE: Settling Time to 1% of final value: 6 msec; to
0.1% of final value: 12 msec; to 0.02% of final value: 20 msec

A.2.e MODEL 3570 DC STRAIN GAGE CONDITIONER
Transducer Types and Ranges: Conventional 4-arm strain gage bridge, nominal
120 Ω or higher, with a full-scale range of 0.75, 1.5, or 3.0 mV/V. 1/4-, 1/2-, or full-
bridge gage configurations can be accommodated by appropriate external
bridge-completion circuitry supplied by the user. Since channel zeroing is by dig-
ital techniques, no input balance control is provided. The allowable input range,
therefore, must include any initial unbalance (which, in commercially produced
strain gage transducers, is negligible). Other transducers may have to be exter-
nally trimmed to be used with the instrument, if zero unbalance exceeds 20% of
full scale.
