The DART series, with its fast 1000 Hz update rate, is able to capture the highest force peaks. With variable display update rate and the same superior accuracy as the DFS series, these new gauges feature unique 180 degree flip displays, permitting the user to read the display right-side up. Additional enhancements are; dual direction keypad, variable baud rate for SPC applications, selectable force direction indication, and selectable power on/off settings.
Designed to ergonomically fit in the palm of your hand, the rugged, all metal construction of the FGE-X and FGV-X permit accurate measurement and display of compression and tension forces up to 100 pounds. (up to 1,000 lbs using the FGV-1000HX)
The FGV-X DART Series gages include RS-232c, RS-232 cable, analog outputs, (analog cable is extra) as well as an overload output signal for gauge protection.
