Here's How It Works

Simply connect the digital load cell to a PC via the USB port. The digital load cell appears on the PC as a virtual COM port. Using a standard terminal emulator send commands to the sensor to display loads on screen. They can either be one at a time or in continuous operation mode. Alternatively, use our entry level LoadVUE Pro 1000 load cell software or any of our other LoadVUE load cell software programs to simplify load measurements on a PC.

Optional Analog Load Cell Output / Hybrid Analog and Digital Load Cell Output

Our iLoad Series capacitive load cells can optionally output an Analog 0-5 V DC output from the same sensor! This analog output is in addition to the normal digital Serial TTL or USB output that is available as a standard feature. If you purchase the optional HX-100 hybrid load cell breakout board, then you can get easy access to the analog as well as the digital output. We provide optional analog calibration as an additional option when ordering these digital load cells.

Application Development

If you are looking to develop your own custom software application, these sensors offer convenient ASCII commands to obtain calibrated load information directly from the sensor without need for any signal conditioning, calibration or data processing.

With just a few commands you'll be able to incorporate load/force/weight information into your application. Click here for an example of sample commands.

You can use Visual Basic, Visual C++, Matlab, LABView or any other application development environment to create your custom applications with our sensors.
