MF100 USB Sensor Interface

with MESUR®flex

Connect strain gage–based load cells, force sensors, and torque sensors to a PC or USB hub using the Model MF100 USB Sensor Interface and MESUR®flex configuration software. MESUR®flex supports a wide range of applications in weighing, force, and torque measurement. It accommodates force sensors from 0.12 to 750,000 lbF (0.5 N to 4,000 kN) and torque sensors from 10 ozFin to 40,000 lbFft (7 Ncm to 57,000 Nm). A built-in screw terminal block allows quick, solder-free connection of sensor wires to the interface. Through MESUR®flex, select the sensor's capacity, add a unique identifier, and calibrate the sensor through a step-by-step wizard. The software contains basic settings for changing measurement units, viewing peak, real-time, and time-averaged data. Or, control the sensor and acquire data via an extensive library of serial commands, ideal for integration into a data collection system.
