Using a loadcell with a Laptop PC.

The LINK loadcell-to-USB is a small, light box that connects directly to a USB connector on a PC - and a loadcell. No external power supply is required. The unit comes with the TramSmart software running on Microsoft Windows XP/Vista/Windows 7

Using the TramSmart software you can save identification (with calibration data) for several loadcells, and when starting the TramSmart software you select the connected loadcell from a list. The load is displayed on the PC and it can be transferred to any Windows program - just by using a shortcut key. Due to the extremely high accuracy it is ideal for calibration purposes, but it is also very handy for all kinds of in-field measurements. You can save snapshot values or you can select continuos sampling - and the data will be put in the clipboard - ready for pasting into any program.
