  The Loadstar DQ-1200 when combined with four Loadstar iLoad Analog Series load cells is a fast data acquisition system for measuring loads and forces. The DQ-1200 provides a serial (RS-232) or USB 2.0 signal for output to a PC.

The DQ-1200 converts analog output voltage from the iLoad Analog Series load cells into a digital signal using 12 bit A/D chips.

Users can obtain readings by issuing simple ASCII commands to a serial COM port. This can be done via standard Windows applications such as HyperTerminal. Typical commands to obtain readings would look like:

The optional LoadVUE or LoadVue Lite software from Loadstar Sensors provides a convenient Windows-compatible software application for easy display, upload, and calibration functions on a PC.
