USB Signal Conditioner for Pressure or Load Transducers
Item# (PN): IN-USBH Shipping and Payment
High Speed USB Transmitter for mV (Bridge Output) Transducers. Up to 1000 Readings/Second. Free Downloadable Software. 316L Stainless Steel Case. Stainless Steel Mounting Bracket Included. Very Low Thermal and Linearity Errors. Excellent Long Term Stability. Standard USB Connector Cable. Factory System Setup and Calibration with Transducer Available. More
The IN-USBH field calibratable In-Line Signal Conditioner adds digital USB output to mV/V pressure or load transducers. Free downloadable OMEGA PC software takes the data from the transducer directly to the digital domain, turning your laptop or Windows® tablet (with USB connection) into a virtual meter, chart recorder, and data logger. Export logged data to spreadsheet format for later viewing/analysis. The PC-connected IN-USBH provides regulated excitation to the transducer so that no external power supply is used. Sampling rates are adjustable up to 1000 Hz for dynamic or slow moving applications. Mounting bracket is included. Transducer interconnecting cable can be purchased separately. The IN-USBH is compatible with mV pressure and load sensors that meet the stated transducer requirements.
Have your Omega or other brand mV/V transducer calibrated with your IN-USBH signal conditioner at Omega’s state-of-the-art factory! Two options are available: Factory System Setup provides 2-point calibration at 0 and 100% Full Scale values. Factory System Calibration provides 5-point NIST Certified 0-50-100-50-0% of Full Scale value calibration points. Please note the cost of Factory System Setup or Factory System Calibration provides calibration in one direction only (either Compression or Tension for Load Cells, Positive or Negative Pressure for Pressure Transducers).
FREE OMEGA USBH Downloadable Software! OMEGA’s Digital Transducer Software allows you to view, chart and log your data from many Omega Digital transducers (pressure, load, torque, temperature, humidity), all in one place! The new IN-USBH In-Line Signal Conditioner extends USB output and software functionality to almost any mV/V sensor.

What is a Signal Conditioner?
A signal conditioner is a device that converts one type of electronic signal into a another type of signal. Its primary use is to convert a signal that may be difficult to read by conventional instrumentation into a more easily read format. In performing this conversion a number of functions may take place.
Signal conditioning is a vital process performed within the Data Acquisition System. It involves the manipulation of the analog signal output from the sensors to prepare it for the next stage of processing. Signal conditioning amplifies and converts the signals from the sensors or...
Understanding Sensor Output Signals
Have you ever wondered why there are a multitude of sensor output signals that can be configured on pressure, temperature, humidity, or gas sensing instrumentation used in process or HVAC applications? Most of these offerings were originally set up to allow sensor manufacturers to better align with the inputs offered by manufacturers of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and direct digital controllers (DDCs), which are used for controlling processes for both automation and HVAC control.
I’d like to focus on two of the most commonly used output signals and zero in on the advantages and disadvantages...

can this signal conditioner be connected to LAB-VIEW software?

Hello,
thank you for your question.
OMEGA doesn’t currently support LabVIEW, but customers have told us they use our USBH sensors with LabVIEW in two ways:
1. Use our provided .NET APIs in LabVIEW, like in this Link: https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-9138.
(While Omega gladly provides support for our .NET API, we cannot provide support for implementation as a part of LabVIEW).
2. The easy-to-use ASCII data protocol of the USBH sensors can be handled with a standard LabVIEW VI like: Basic Serial Write and Read.vi.
Best Regards
