Abstract: | An experimental study about the relative merits of using a high-speed digital-acquisition system to measure directly the strain-gage
resistance rather than using a conventional Wheatstone bridge, is carried out.
Both strain gages, with a nominal resistance of 120 Ω and 1 kΩ, are simulated with precision resistors and the output signals
were acquired over a time of 48 and 144 hours; furthermore, the effects in metrological performances caused by a statistical
filtering are evaluated.
The results show that the implementation of the statistical filtering gains a considerable improvement in gathering straingage-resistance
readings. On the other hand such a procedure causes, obviously, a loss of performance with regard to the acquisition rate,
therefore to the dynamic data-collecting capabilities. In any case the intrinsic resolution of the 12-bit a/d converter, utilized
in the present experimental analysis, causes a limitation for measurement accuracy in the range of hundreds μ m/m.
