PASCO Structures System

Build the structures you want to study--then measure the loads on your structure with state-of-the-art sensor technology.

1. First, choose from our selection of Structures Systems: Truss Set,Bridge Set and Advanced Structures Set
2. Now add the electronic measurement capability: You'll need the Load Cell & Amplifier, plus a PASPORT interface to connect the Amplifier to your computer.
3. Finally, get real-time data display, graphing and analysis with DataStudio Software.

The Load Cell & Amplifier Set provides you the means to accurately measure tension and compression in real-time—anywhere in your structure! You build the Load Cell right into your structure where you want it—and easily relocate it without disassembling the entire structure. The Load Cell Amplifier connects to PASPORT interfaces to give you immediate readings of force. Your Load Cell Amplifier connects up to 6 Load Cells.

• 4 Load Cells (100 N)
• Load Cell Amplifier
• Connection Cable
• Instruction Manual
