An 8 channel pre-amplifier specially designed for those situations
where some signal gain is required or where a transducer output is incompatible
with your instrumentation input.
It has been specifically developed as a go anywhere, no- nonsense,
sensible utility which will act as an instrumentation amplifier, an
anti-alias filter, an isolation unit, an accelerometer interface, a
differential to single ended convertor and an overload detector.
For instance, if vibration is to be measured, simply connect an ICP
accelerometer direct to the VIP which can provide the necessary interf
ace and give you a calibrated gain of up to 60dB.
