Strain Data Acquisition System for Serious Testing
StrainDAQ is an industrial strain data acquisition system for strain gauge measurement, bridge sensor testing, structural validation, load analysis, and long-duration monitoring. It combines standalone touchscreen operation with live channel trends, configurable gauge factor control, tare workflows, and USB data logging.
Built for strain gauge data acquisition
The StrainDAQ brochure specifies an 8-channel strain data acquisition platform focused on precision strain measurement. The system is designed for standalone testing with a 7-inch touchscreen, 24-bit acquisition, and up to 1000 samples per second.
Gauge factor setting
Configure sensor calculation factors directly from the device interface.
Live channel trends
View live strain values and trend charts during active tests.
Bridge configuration
Designed for bridge-based strain measurement workflows.
Data logging
Capture test records for review, reporting, and engineering analysis.
High-resolution measurement electronics
StrainDAQ uses a precision 24-bit delta-sigma measurement chain with programmable gain, digital filtering, calibration support, and multiplexed inputs for low-level bridge and strain gauge signals.

Where StrainDAQ fits
Structural testing
Monitor strain response in structures, assemblies, frames, and prototypes.
Load analysis
Acquire bridge sensor and strain gauge data during load validation studies.
Long-duration monitoring
Use live visualization and logging for extended engineering tests.
Industrial validation
Deploy a dedicated strain DAQ platform for production, lab, and field trials.
Strain gauge data acquisition with a dedicated DAQ platform
If you are searching for a strain data acquisition system, StrainDAQ is built for engineers who need direct strain gauge measurement, bridge configuration, live channel data, and logging in one industrial instrument. The system is suitable for test benches, structural analysis, machine validation, load testing, and research environments where reliable multi-channel strain measurement matters.
