Load Cell Interface offers simultaneous digital/analog output.January 14, 2010 -
Intended for iLoad Series digital USB load cells, HX-100 hybrid load cell interface lets user simultaneously obtain digital and analog output from same load cell. Load cell outputs calibrated load data in lbs/Newtons/kgs to PC as well as 0-5 Vdc analog output. Users are also able to input force data into DAQ system or PLC while monitoring data digitally on PC or Mac. On-demand or continuous modes are available for display of loads.

Loadstar Sensors Releases Hybrid Load Cell Interface with Simultaneous Digital & Analog Outputs
Fremont Ca -- Loadstar Sensors Inc. announces tannounces the availability of its HX-100 hybrid load cell interface for the iLoad Series digital load cells.
The HX-100 allows a user to simultaneously obtain both digital as well as analog output from the same load cell. Just connect one end of a iLoad digital USB load cell to the HX-100 and the other end to a PC. The load cell outputs calibrated load data in Lbs/Newtons/Kgs on the PC while outputting a high level 0-5VDC analog output at the same time. The HX-100 enables you to input the force data into a data acquisition system or programmable logic controller while monitoring the data digitally on a PC or Mac.
The highlights of this solution are:
Digital USB and Analog Output from hybrid load cell interface
Amplified 0-5VDC analog output
Load cell powered by USB port or externally supplied 5V adapter
Calibrated load/force digital output in Lbs/Kgs/Newtons in ASCII format
ASCII command set for easy software integration
Compatibility with PCs running Windows XP or Vista
On demand or continuous mode for display of loads
Optional LoadVUE software allows user to log and plot data on a PC
"The HX-100 is the world's first load cell interface to offer both digital as well as analog outputs from a load cell - simultaneously!" says Div Harish, President & CEO of Loadstar Sensors, Inc. "Our digital USB load cell solutions are very popular for test & measurement applications and for building OEM products. Now developers can also get analog output that can be directly input into their PLCs or micro-controllers. The simultaneous availability of digital and analog data will cut the development and debug time by up to 50-60%."
