16-Channel bridge and strain gauge measurement instrument

VT Instruments EX1403A
16-Channel bridge and strain gauge measurement instrument

The EX1403A Precision Bridge and Strain Gauge Instrument sets a new standard for strain and bridge measurements, delivering the highest performance measurements possible while controlling overall test hardware costs. 
Sixteen channels of strain or voltage, independent 24-bit ADCs per channel, extensive software-selectable filtering, and independent signal conditioning paths deliver exceptional accuracy and reliability.
