1 DESCRIPTION
1.1 GENERAL
The Model P3 Strain Indicator and Recorder is a portable, bat-
tery powered precision instrument for use with resistive strain
gages and strain-gage-based transducers.
The Model P3 accepts full- half- and quarter-bridge inputs; all
required bridge completion components for 120-, 350-, and
1000-ohm bridges are supplied. The Model P3 utilizes tool-free
input connections, and is dust and moisture-resistant.
Operation of the Model P3 is straightforward and intuitive, us-
ing menu-driven commands, and can be controlled by either the
front panel keypad or remotely via a USB connection.
The Model P3 utilizes modern digital signal processing tech-
nology to provide excellent noise rejection and stability. Pro-
prietary scaling and linearization algorithms provide unsur-
passed measurement accuracy for strain gage bridge measure-
ments.
Data may be stored on industry-standard multimedia (MMC)
cards or streamed to a PC using the on board USB interface.
