CellMite 4337 Digital Signal Conditioner for Strain Gage Sensors
Electro Standards Laboratories, Cranston, RI, announces the CellMite Model 4337 with auto-identifying display. This unit connects directly to a standard strain gage transducer and simultaneously generates a serial output for direct connection to a PC, a scalable +/-10V analog output for interface to data acquisition systems, and a 16-character auto-identifying display for direct readout viewing.
The CellMite Model 4337 has on-board storage for three calibrated sensors, each with integrated 6-point calibration and independent user-specified display setup parameters. When a TEDS-Tag capable sensor is connected to the unit, that sensor is immediately identified by the Model 4337 and its stored calibration data and display configuration are automatically loaded. If that sensor is removed and another TEDS-Tag sensor is connected, then its calibration data and display data are automatically loaded.
The CellMite Model 4337 has a multi-drop RS232/RS485 serial port that allows for connection of multiple units in a serial network configuration. This compact unit is ideally suited for in-situ transducer conditioning and distributed process measurements. It provides OEM users and system integrators with an affodable and complete strain gage-to-PC solution with intelligent display readout.
Auto sensor identification and auto display identification require no user intervention and prevent field personnel from making costly mistakes due to incorrect sensor calibration or display setup.
The CellMite Model 4337 can be fully operated with a computer or simply setup by a computer and then used as a stand-alone intelligent digital signal conditioner with auto identifying analog and alphanumeric display outputs.
The CellMite Model 4337 features an intelligent 16-character backlit alphanumeric display. The wide range numerical readout featues 6 digits of display plus sign indicator and decimal point along with a unit of measure label and channel identifier. The Model 4337 automatically converts between a variety of scientific units including Lbs, Kg, In, cm, mm, and MV/V and can output these to the display. The location of the decimal point and unit of measure are setup via software but the computer is not required during operation.

It provides OEM users and system integrators with an affordable and complete strain gage-to-PC solution with intelligent display readout.
The CellMite Model 4337 features include nonvolatile memory for parameter and calibration storage, ability to select between 3 stored calibrations, automatic sensor identification using TEDS-Tag technology, solid state relay switches, multi-point and mV/V calibration, remote sense excitation, and 24-bit internal resolution with 16-bit analog output.
When the CellMite Model 4337 is used with CellView family point-and-click GUI software, a turnkey data acquisition system is formed that can generate Excel compatible data files. The software also supports multiple units in a serial data network configuration and mix and match operation with Electro Standards Laboratories Model 4331-200 dual-channel CellMite LVDT embedded digital signal conditioner boards. This allows the construction of mixed DC excited and AC excited sensor networks under a single software umbrella.
