Chapter 11 AC/AC-LVDT Input
Channel
11.1 Features
The ac/ac-LVDT Input channel provides an ac excitation voltage
to and accepts ac signals from LVDT (Linear Variable Differential
Transformer) transducers. These signals are digitized, converted
into engineering units, and placed into the track, peak and valley
data values of the channel. Setup and calibration of the channel
are made manually through the SETUP mode.
The analog-to-digital converter features adjustable digital, low-
pass filtering, 12- to 18-bit resolution (depending on the filter
setting) and has several different input ranges. These many input
rangesallow±25,000countresolution(attheslowestlterset-
ting) for a wide variety of LVDT outputs.
The ac/ac-LVDT Input channel is calibrated to the transducer by
using known-displacement calibration.
Two rear panel control inputs can be field-configured for such
functions as remote tare, disabling peak/valley detection and
clearing the peak/valley values. A standard voltage or optional
current digital-to-analog output is also provided.
NOTICE
To use a dc/dc LVDT with an SC instrument, use a High-Level
Input channel instead of an ac/ac-LVDT Input channel.
11.2 Wiring
Connect your transducer to an ac/ac-LVDT Input channel by
wiring it to the 12-pin connector of that channel. The Customer In-
formation Sheet that shipped with the instrument describes which
cards are installed in each channel. The pin-out for this connector
is shown on the following table.
