general sensor types are supported:
! Full (4-wire) or half bridge (2- or 3-wire) resistive and piezo-resistive types
! Voltage input: Input range 0.1 to 4.9 V; larger range with voltage expander
circuit
! Conditioned sensors with 5 V excitation and 2.5 V centered signal output
The IEPE SLICE MICRO (fourth quarter 2010) will support common piezo-electric
sensor types.
If you have questions regarding what sensors are supported please contact
