Hi Everyone,
I have a small project working with an Instron model 1000, trying to set-up a teaching demo. I was able to identify an analog output related to force from the machine, that outputs a voltage of 0-500 mV proportional to the load.
I am thinking of using a NI USB 6009 to read the signal and send to labview for plotting and saving the data. But, I am concerned the signal may be low and I am thinking of using a LM 321 Op Amp to build a differential amplifier to boost the signal, and maybe also a noise reducing circuit. Does anyone have any experience if the LM 321 can operate off the USB 6009 output voltage, or would my idea lead to more noise and a messier signal?
