The Series-7 digital force gauge is a professional device with different sophisticated features for professional tension and compression measurement applications up to 500 lbF / 2500 N. Due to the excellent accuracy of ±0.1% and the very fast sampling rate of 14,000 Hz, measuring results become very reliable.
This digital force gauge provides different advanced features, including high speed continuous data capture and storage with memory for up to 5,000 readings, programmable footswitch sequencing, break detection, 1st / 2nd peak detection and coefficient of friction unit of measurement and user-defined unit of measurement. Furthermore, also automatic data output, zeroing function, averaging and an external trigger function belong to the standard features of the Series-7 digital force gauge. With the included MESURTM lite acquisition software, continuous or single point data are tabulated and can be exported to Excel for further data manipulation.
The Series-7 can be combined with a test stand, for example the ESM301, to facilitate extended measurement possibilities, like break testing, tensile testing, compression testing, dynamic load holding, PC control capability, and many other applications.
Series 7 gauges feature several functions typically found in more complex instruments, such as materials testers, data acquisition systems, and PLCs. The following unique features are highlighted:
High Speed Data Capture & Storage
Series 7 can capture and store up to 5,000 continuous data points at a rate of up to 14,000 readings per second. This unique function is ideal for capturing switch activation forces, sharp breaks, and other short-duration applications. Configurable start and stop triggers are provided. The data acquisition rate is variable and can be slowed to also capture longer events, such as structure relaxation, material expansion, and others.
Data from the storage buffer can be exported to data collection software such as MESURTMgauge for further analysis and graphing. Using a Series 7 gauge could replace cumbersome and expensive data acquisition hardware and software.
Footswitch Command String
Integrate your footswitch / automation system with a Series 7 gauge to improve testing ergonomics and efficiency; no need for multiple key presses. Up to three steps may be programmed for a single footswitch activation.
Select from several commands, including request peak reading, zero the display, save to memory, and others. Time delays can be inserted between each step.
Automatic Data Output / Save / Zero / I/O Pin Toggle
Upon completion of several event types, the Series 7 can perform the following productivity-enhancing functions:
