Technical background
The philosophy behind NeuLog's plug and play
technology is based on each sensor's ability to store its
own data due to an internal flash memory chip and
micro-controller in each plastic NeuLog body. This
technology allows the sensor to collect and then store
the digital data in the correct scientific units (for
o
o
example:
C,
F, Lux, %, ppm).
The sensor is pre-calibrated at the factory. The built-in
software in the logger can be upgraded for free at any
time using the provided firmware update.
The force sensor is based on a metal rod connected at
both sides to the force sensor hooks in a special shape
called 'S' shape. A strain gauge is attached to the metal
rod and connected to a very sensitive operational
amplifier.
No force is applied Pull force Push force
Pulling or pushing the hooks bends very little the metal
rod, changes the strain gauge resistances and the
amplifier output voltage. This voltage is converted into
force (N) by the sensor's controller.
