Field use, battery drive

This portable data logger consists of a control unit (TDS-150) and exclusive decade channel units (FSW-
10) and measures strain gauges, strain-gauge-based transducers, DC voltages, thermocouples and Pt
RTD. The decade channel unit (FSW-10) can be cascaded up to 5 units to total 50 channels. In addition,
by using a switching box/TML-NET driving board (option), up to 100 channels can be extended. TDS-
150 operates on not only AC mains but alkaline D-cells or battery and has data memory and sleep inter-
val timer functions for long term automatic measurement. It is possible to store measurement data and
setup condition on compact flash memory card. Interfaces are USB and RS-232C, and reading of
various setting conditions and measurement data can be conducted from a PC.
