Resolution of Strain Gage Input
The resolution of the measuring amplifier depends on the adjusted input sensitivity. The
input sensitivity is coupled with the bridge supply voltage: 8.75V with 2.0 mV/V, 5V with 3.5
mV/V, 2.5V with 7 mV/V.
The excitation voltage with 8.75V is recommended only with sensors of minimum 1K Ohm
connecting resistance and enough construction size. For miniature sensors under 500g
weight the bridge supply of 8.75V may not be applied!

Signal flow
Digital Filters
The BX8 automatically selects the analog filter and the "decimating" averaging filter
depending on the data rate (samples per second) set by the user. The user must only
enter the desired number of samples per second to be supplied via the USB port or analog
outputs.
In addition, there are two adjustable digital filter: 1x FIR filter and IIR filter 1x. Each of
these digital filters can be set individually for each of the 8 input channels. In the
measurement data signal processing chain, the FIR filter is listed first, followed by the IIR
filter.
Finite Impulse Response Filters
The FIR filter is a low pass filter, wherein the filter order N, and the limit frequency fg can
be adjusted. The cutoff frequency is that signal frequency at which the signal is already
attenuated by -3 dB. This corresponds to a factor of about 0.7. Signals above this
frequency are attenuated further.
The filter order determines the maximum and minimum adjustable cut-off frequency fg in
terms of data rate Fa, and the steepness of the attenuation range. Higher orders have a
steeper slope, i.e. an increase in the signal frequency causes the attenuation to increase
faster. The so-called step response is slower at higher orders however, i.e. it always takes
N+1 measured values until the filter’s output value corresponds to the input value.

Infinite Impulse Response Filter
The digital filter is a so-called infinite impulse response filter (IIR) of fourth order.
Four different filter types can be set:
1. Low pass filter: Sensor signals at low frequency (including DC size with f=0) pass
through the filter, signals at a higher frequency are attenuated.
2. High pass filter: Sensor signals at low frequency (including DC size with f=0) are
attenuated, signals at a higher frequency pass through the filter. Note: Frequencies above
half of the measured data rate cannot be processed. The measuring amplifier includes an
Analog-to-digital sampling system, which in itself acts as a low pass.
3. Band pass filter: Signals are allowed to pass through within a frequency range, signals
which are above or below this range are attenuated.
4. Band stop filter (‘Notch filter’): Signals are attenuated within a frequency range, signals
which are above or below this range are allowed to pass through.
The cutoff frequency can be configured for low and high pass filters. The cutoff frequency
is the frequency at which the signal is already attenuated by -3 dB. This corresponds to a
factor of approx. 0.7. Frequencies lying above for low pass and lying below for high pass
will continue to be attenuated.
Two cutoff frequencies can be configured for band pass and band stop filters; the upper
and the lower. Attenuation by -3 dB also occurs here. The two cutoff frequencies may not
be the same. Signal frequencies lying between these are allowed to pass through for the
band pass filter, and are attenuated for the band stop filter.
The maximum (and also the minimum if need be) of each cutoff frequency is dependent on
the measured data rate. Cutoff frequencies can be set to (0.49 * measured data rate), i.e.
almost to half.
The filters can be individually configured for each channel and also switched on and off.
The configuration also remains the same for filters that have been switched off.

Connection strain gage quarter bridge
The active strain gage R3 is connected in
the 3-wire technology.
The completion resistors 120 Ohm (QB =
Q120), 350 Ohm (QB = Q350) and 1K Ohm
(QB = Q1k) are lead out on the connection
QB.
The internal half bridge R1, R2 is activated
with a bridge from HB to -Ud.
Connection strain gage half bridge
The active strain gages R3 and R4 are
connected on +Us, +Ud and -Us.
For very long wire lengths the sensor cable
+Uf and -Uf can be used.

The active strain gages R1 to R4 are
connected on +Us, -Us, +Ud, -Ud.
For very long wire lengths the sensor cable
+Uf and -Uf can be additionally used.
Connection of PT1000
The temperature sensor PT1000 is
connected in three-wire technology to the
terminals Q1K, UE and GNDE.
To measure temperature, the input type
"PT1000" must be activated once by
software.
Connection of the active sensors
The voltage signal of active sensors is applied to Ue and GNDE.
Potentiometric sensors can be supplied via +Us. The power supply for active sensors can
be via galvanic isolated voltage VCCIO and GNDIO.
