August 20 2008 - Loadstar Sensors of Fremont, California launched a new family of displays that are built to work seamlessly with its successful line of load cells. The new DS-3000 four channel display is an integral device that incorporates display and controller functions combined into one. A user can connect up to four iLoad series load cells and view individual and/or total loads in three different units: Kilograms, Pounds and Newtons. Additionally, a user can interface via USB uplink to plot/chart the data to a PC. Optional relay outputs allow users to activate relays based on load limits in order to control up to 2 external devices.
The DS-3000 provides many key features in order to simplify the process of building a load measurement system:
* Accepts input from up to four iLoad series load cells
* Automatically sums loads from all connected load cells
* View individual load cell readings
* Display resolution 0.01 - 999.9
* Display units include Kilograms, Pounds or Newtons
* Optional Lithium-Ion Polymer battery for backup
* Optional wireless: Bluetooth or Zigbee
* Allows connectivity to PC using USB uplink
* Optional relays control up to 2 external devices
* 4-Digit LED display with 0.56 inch tall digits for easy readability
"The new DS-3000 simplifies the measurement and display of loads and outputs the data directly to a personal computer's USB port," says Div Harish, Co-Founder & CEO of Loadstar Sensors, Inc. "For users who need to plot and chart the data we offer LoadVUE software that allows users to log to a Microsoft Excel data file. Moreover, a user can create intelligent load based applications with the included relays that can be turned on or off at specified pre-set loads."
