Interfacing the Air Bearing LVDT with a Computer

By converting the signal provided by the AB LVDT amplifier from analog to digital, the Air Bearing LVDT Measurement System may be interfaced with a computer to create a digital contact measurement system with endless possibilities.

Though the wide variety of computer systems limits our ability to provide all components necessary for this conversion, we will work with our customers that desire this type of system to ensure that they acquire the necessary hardware/software.
