The Mantracourt DSCUSB is a compact USB strain gauge digital signal conditioner in a rugged IP50 ABS enclosure, delivering 200 samples/second at 18-bit noise-free resolution. Bus-powered via USB, it requires no external power supply and connects to most strain gauge bridge sensors through a 9-way D-type socket.
The DSCUSB is a high-accuracy USB measurement module designed for test benches, R&D labs, quality assurance stations, and field measurement tasks where a laptop or PC is already present. Simply plugging it into a USB port powers the device and opens communication – no driver installation headaches, no external power bricks.
At 200 samples per second and 18-bit noise-free resolution, it captures slow to moderately dynamic loading events with excellent repeatability: structural load testing, material tensile and compression testing, press force verification, platform scale calibration checks, and sensor characterization all benefit from its precision. The free DSC Toolkit software provides configuration, 2-point calibration, real-time charting, and CSV data logging. For multi-channel applications, up to 24 DSCUSB modules can be monitored simultaneously using the free LOG24 software and a standard USB hub. A DIN rail mounting kit (D4) is available for panel installation.
