Instrument Selection Guide
(1) Typical - see specific product bulletin and/or instruction manual for detailed performance specifications.
(2) All systems can be operated with StrainSmart software for data acquisition, storage, reduction, and presentation, or with other third-party
software.
(3) Strain gage cards only.
Considerations for instrument selection are provided on the facing page for all general-purpose instrumentation and data systems
produced by Vishay Micro-Measurements. Additionally, our Applications Engineering staff is always available to assist you in
selecting the right instrument for your specific applications.
