The V385 is a VME/VXI compatible eight-channel strain-gauge signal conditioner applicable to generic bridge-type transducer applications. The V385 adds individual remote-sensed excitation supplies to each channel, increasing its precision over the V380's single excitation supply.
Key to the V385's increased precision is a separate remotely-sensed excitation voltage for each channel. Now users can measure up to eight different sensors with different interface cables without the uncertainty of a single sense point for the excitation supply.
The V385's updated firmware accommodates customer requests for faster access to raw sensor data. A firmware version with weighing-specific functions is also available.
