LabVIEW/NI USB 6212 Compatible Force Gauge

[josesi]

Hello,

Hope you are doing well. I have a project where I am supposed to integrate a force gauge with the current data acquisition setup. Currently, we are using USB 6212 to get data from other components. I have not worked with Force Gauge before. The target force is up to 1.5KN compression loading.

I have been searching over internet and found Mark 10 Series 5 Force gauge, MR 01-300 Compression Tension Force Gauge available. However, I have not found any suitable resources for that. Those are a bit expensive too.

Could you please suggest any force gauge/devices(Up to $1000) that fit my requirement?

Just so you know, USB 6212 is not designed to measure strain bridges. You need an external load cell amplifier to convert the load into an analog voltage that can be, in turn, read using 6212.

Note that the Mark 10 series 5 force gauge can directly interface with a computer and doesn't need your 6212 DAQ.

Interestingly, their software seems to be developed in LabVIEW
