Rear Panel Interfaces

[Click on a thumbnail to view full image.]

The Strain Bridge Monitor can be fitted with one of four interfaces.  These take the form of interchangeable rear panels fitted to the instrument case and all have identical ribbon cable connections to the control circuit board.  This enables the user to select an interface designed for the particular transducer to be monitored.  Each interface is composed of a plastic backing panel with a polycarbonate label featuring indelible legends and interface identification.
