About Vibrating Wire Peripherals

Many Campbell Scientific vibrating wire peripherals enable data loggers to read vibrating wire sensors (also known as vibrating wire or vibrating strip transducers). These sensors measure strain, load, pressure, and water level, and they output a frequency signal generated by a vibrating filament. Campbell Scientific also offers vibrating wire data loggers that read the sensors directly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Number of FAQs related to Vibrating Wire Peripherals: 1

When is it more appropriate to use an AVW200-series device or a CDM-VW300-series device?

This depends on how fast (how frequently) a vibrating wire sensor needs to be measured.

AVW200-series devices are optimal for systems that exclusively require measurement rates slower than 1 Hz. CDM-VW300-series devices, on the other hand, are appropriate when measuring sensors at rates from 1 to 333.3 Hz.

Another way to consider the appropriateness of these devices is in terms of seconds. For a measurement period of 2 s or greater, use an AVW200-series device. For a measurement period of 1 s or less, use a CDM-VW300-series device.
