The first stage of the data acquisition is signal conditioning.

At present, our signal conditioners are set up to accommodate a total of 96 channels, 24 of which are for bridge sensors and the remaining for other transducers. These feed through a custom designed signal conditioning system utilizing Burr-Brown instrumentation amplifiers, filters, and bridge sensors. In addition, custom designed wave probe signal conditioners add up to 16 more wave probe channels. Designed as a modular setup, more channels of signal conditioning are easily added.
