The OM-CP-BRIDGE-101A is a battery-powered, stand-alone data loggers that measure and record voltage signals from strain gages, load cells and other low level dc sources. This compact, unit is perfect for monitoring stress, torque, strain, pressure and data from many other sensors/transducers.
The OM-CP-BRIDGE101A offers a multiple start/stop function, ultrahigh speed download capability, 1 million reading storage capacity, optional memory wrap, battery life indicator, optional password protection, programmable alarms and more.
Data retrieval is simple. Plug it into an available USB port and the easy to use Windows software does the rest. The software converts your PC into a real time strip chart recorder. Using the Windows® software, starting, stopping and downloading from the OM-CP-BRIDGE101A is simple and easy. Graphical, tabular and summary data is provided for analysis and data can be viewed in V, mV and µV. The data can also be automatically exported to Excel® for further calculations. The storage medium is non-volatile solid state memory, providing maximum data security even if the battery becomes discharged. Its small size allows it to fit almost anywhere.
The OM-CP-BRIDGE101A was designed with our customers in mind. There are free firmware upgrades for the life of the product so that data loggers already deployed in the field can grow with new technological developments. Units do not need to be returned to the factory for upgrades. The user can do this automatically from any PC.

How many strain gauges can be connected to this singular data logger?
Thank you for your question. The logger will support a full 350 ohm bridge.

I want to see strain gauge reading in my pc using which data logger its possible. and please tell me what are instruments i want to use to get strain gauge readings in pc.
Thank you for your question. We will require more information to help on this question, please email the DAS team at DAS@OMEGA.COM

Does the data logger need to be plugged into a computer with the USB cable for the first time using it to turn it on, rather than using the start/stop button? I tried holding the button for 5+ seconds and the green LED light does not turn on.
Hello, thank you for your question. Yes, you would need to connect to the computer for initial setup before logging for the first time. There are different ways you can start the logger including "immediate" or "delay" start. If you want to use the button to start the logger then you would select "manual" start during setup.

Does this data logger use it's own voltage to operate the strain gauges? If not is a separate system required to power the gauges, and if so what would you recommend? Thanks in advance
Hello Nick
The Bridge101a provides a reference voltage of 2.5V for strain gauges.
Date published: 2021-05-12
this data logger still needs a bridge to attach to the strain gauge?
Hello George
It is recommended to have a full bridge setup (350 or 1000 ohm) connected to the logger.

I'm looking to measure muscle spasticity in mice. Might you recommend a strain guage?
Thank you for your inquiry
The Omega strain gauges are not rec-amended for animal or human use.
We wouldn't have any data for this application
Hope this was helpful.
