MCI-1 Machine Cycle Input Module
The Machine Cycle Input module, MCI-1, permits the acquisition of a specimen signal at specific points of an input waveform derived from a testing machine's load cycle signal — for example, at the peak loads during a fatigue test, where any crack that has developed is fully opened.
This helps eliminate errors in potential drop readings that could occur if a crack is partially closed and electrically shorted.
Features
- Integrates with PDsoft for machine cycle synchronisation
- LEDs indicate peak, zero crossover and dwell of the machine cycle
- Connection to PC via USB cable (provided), which also powers the device
- Input range ±10V
Applications
- Synchronisation to a testing machine's load cycle for signal capture at peak load
