As I understand it, I may only need to use the 1531. Although it says
it is used for accelerometers, it sounds like the techincal
specifications of the card are adequate. I will be measuring in the
range of 30 Hz with force sensors. The sensors are made by PCB
Piezoelectronics, model 201B02. This equipment was somewhat inhereted,
so I don't really know what of it I must use, or how. Any guidance
would be appreciated.
It appears that your force sensor is compatible with the SCXI-1531.
This module supports all <b>Integrated Electronic Piezoelectric
(IEPE)</b> sensors. Thus, it is not limited to accelerometers. I
examined the data sheet for your sensor, and it indicates that a
<b>Constant Current Excitation</b> of <b>2 to 20 mA</b> is required.
The SCXI-1531 provides a constant current excitation of <b>4 mA</b>.
In the same way, it appears that the other specifications of your
sensor are compatible with the SCXI-1531.
Good luck with your application.
