The BrTrans210 is a self-contained data logger that records an electrical signal from a strain gauge or a load cell. The device is available in ranges of ±10mV, ±25mV, ±100mV, ±1000mV, and features triggering, and high speed recording up to 100 samples per second. Applications are facilitated by the ability of the device to record the electrical resistance variations proportional to the level of strain an object experiences. Not only can the BrTrans210 sample as fast as 100 samples per second, it also records and stores more than 1 million data points to non-volatile memory.
