Description

MicroStrain® motherboards come in a desktop RFI shielded enclosure. DEMOD-DVRT and DEMOD-DVRT-TC cards easily plug into the the motherboard and the motherboard provides the cards with power and ground via an external power supply. Analog output is available on the standard motherboards via a 40 pin connector on the back of the board as well as the BNC connectors on the DEMOD cards. RS-232 output is available on the smart motherboards along with analog output from the BNC connectors on the DEMOD cards.


Motherboards come in 5 varieties:

The MB-STD-4 includes a four channel motherboard, power supply, enclosure, EMI/RFI shielding and analog output.

The MB-STD-8 includes an eight channel motherboard, power supply, enclosure, EMI/RFI shielding and analog output.

The MB-SMT-4 includes a four channel motherboard with on-board multiplexer, 14 bit A/D convertor, microprocessor, and serial communication chip, power supply, enclosure, EMI/RFI shielding, analog output and RS-232 output, software and manual.

The MB-SMT-8 includes an eight channel motherboard with on-board multiplexer, 14 bit A/D convertor, microprocessor, and serial communication chip, power supply, enclosure, EMI/RFI shielding, analog output and RS-232 output, software and manual.

The MB-SMT-D includes a two channel motherboard with on-board multiplexer, 14 bit A/D convertor, microprocessor, and serial communication chip, power supply, enclosure, EMI/RFI shielding, analog output and RS-232 output, LCD, software and manual.

Each of the 5 motherboards comes standard with a 110VAC power supply. Optionally each can be fitted with either a 220VAC Euro, 220VAC UK or 110VAC Medical Grade power supply.
