Mark-10 BGI Universal Digital Force / Torque Gauge

The Mark-10 BGI Force / Torque Gauge is a unique product designed for working in conjunction with a variety of interchangeable remote force and torque sensors. The sensors do not require calibration or setup - the Mark 10 BGI automatically recognizes any sensor. All configuration and calibration data is saved in the sensor's connector. Simply plug and play!

Features:

• Fully interchangeable force and torque BGI force/torque sensors with "personality" modules containing all calibration and user-set data
• Unlimited number of sensors possible due to unique design
• Programmable default configuration for each sensor
• RS-232, Mitutoyo and analog outputs
• GCL - Gauge Control Language for full computer control of all functions
• Automatic timed output on RS-232
• Averaging mode for obtaining average force readings over time
• External trigger for data capture and switch testing
• Programmable dual set points with outputs
• Programmable analog and digital filters
• Programmable initial status of units and mode of operation
• General purpose I/O for external device control
• Programmable auto-shutoff
• Permanent configuration memory
• Selectable units of measurement
