Product Description
The TA487 is an interface that allows industry-standard IEPE (integrated electronic piezoelectric) sensors to be used with any oscilloscope or data acquisition device with BNC inputs. The device is powered from any USB port, using the cable supplied, and provides a 4mA constant current source to power a connected IEPE sensor.
A TA095 IEPE accelerometer is also available from Pico Technology. Other IEPE sensors, such as microphones, pressure sensors, and strain gauges are available from other manufacturers. The sensor must be terminated with a BNC(m) connector.
