Selectable Sampling Rates
Provides 12 selectable sampling rates ranging from 2.5 SPS to 4,800 SPS, enabling reliable measurements across a wide range of applications. Lower rates maximize noise filtering and stability for static measurements, while higher rates allow the system to capture dynamic behavior and transient events with high fidelity.
Unparalleled Precision
Delivers exceptional measurement performance with a Noise-Free Resolution (NFR) of up to 20 bits and non-linearity as low as ±0.002% of full scale, ensuring highly accurate readings even for very small signal variations. This level of precision enables capture of subtle changes in strain-gauge sensor outputs while minimizing measurement error, making it well suited for demanding force, torque, and pressure measurement applications.
Access Data Your Way
Instantly visualize sensor data and log measurements through FUTEK SENSIT application, or access data directly through API libraries and DLLs, with support for Python, C++, and C#. Seamless LabVIEW integration is also available. Whether using SENSIT or integrating with your own platform, the USB225 Pro makes it easy to acquire and manage sensor data.
Calibrated for Maximum Performance
Maximize measurement accuracy and performance by calibrating your sensor and USB225 Pro together. Standalone calibration of the USB225 Pro or third-party sensors is also available in our state-of-the-art in-house lab. All calibrations are NIST-traceable and performed in accordance with ANSI Z540-1 and ISO 17025 best practices. A2LA-accredited calibration is available for regulated applications requiring formal certification.
Multiple Fault Detection
Provides live fault detection and health checks for wiring, sensor connection, and out-of-range temperature issues, helping maintain data integrity, maximize system uptime, and protect system components. On-board temperature measurement alerts users when the device operates outside its specified range of –4°F to 175°F (–20°C to 80°C).
Durability & Reliability
Built to IPC Class III standards and housed in a rugged metal enclosure, the PCB assembly delivers long-term stability and dependable performance in harsh environments.
USB225 Pro Elite
USB225 Pro Elite builds on the capabilities of USB225 Pro with added performance and automation features, including sampling rates up to 38.4 kSPS, TEDS recognition for automatic sensor setup and calibration, and RTD (PT1000) for external temperature readings and compensation.
USB225 Pro Elite delivers high-performance signal conditioning in an ultra-compact form factor. With high resolution, ultra-low non-linearity, and selectable sampling rates, it ensures accurate, reliable measurements in precision-critical applications. Live fault detection provides real-time feedback on wiring, sensor connection, and out of range temperature issues to improve uptime and safety.
TEDS Compliant for Plug-and-Play
Automatically reads a sensor’s serial number, sensitivity, and other key calibration data and relays it to SENSIT® software, minimizing configuration time and setup errors. Multiple profile capability supports seamless switching between different sensors, making the system cost-effective and simple to operate.
Ultra-High Sampling
Supports 16 selectable sampling rates from 2.5 SPS to 38.4 kSPS, optimized for high-speed data acquisition. The ultra-high sampling capability enables precise capture of rapidly changing signals, impacts, and transient events. This makes it well suited for dynamic force and strain measurements where rapid signal changes must be captured with precise timing.
RTD Temperature Measurement for Compensation
Supports RTD (PT1000) temperature sensing to provide accurate external temperature readings alongside strain-gauge measurements. The temperature data can be used by the host system to perform temperature compensation or apply correction algorithms as required by the application. While the device does not perform temperature compensation internally, the RTD input enables users to monitor thermal conditions and incorporate temperature-based corrections within their own processing or control systems.
