Description
Model 9330 is a bipolar display, logging, amplifier that can be used in portable or desktop
applications. This instrument has an integrated bridge completion for 120 Ohm, 350 Ohm and 1000
Ohm strain gauges as well active sensors with 0…10V output signal. The measuring rate can be set
up to 3750 Hz. Data can be save to an SD Card at a rate of 1000 Hz or directly to the PC and 3750
Hz. This device also stores up to 6 sensor calibrations.

Maximum, Minimum, and Mean Value
The maximum, minimum and mean value mode can be activated in the logger menu under Val.
mode. In this operating mode you can switch between these values and the current value in the
display using the UP and DOWN buttons. These values are written in every line in the measured
value file; in the order:
Current value, maximum, minimum and mean value. If activated, a header is written in the file, the
second line of which designates the corresponding column:
Scaling: +3,5000 Data frequency: 10,000 Hz
The header is only written when Recording options → File options → Header: Yes is selected in the
menu. In this operating mode, the maximum measured data rate for file recording is 1000 measured
values/s.
The following actions reset the determination of the maximum, minimum and mean value,
i.e. then re-determined with the subsequent measured values:
By switching on the device
By activating max./min./mean value mode
By zero setting
By starting permanent file recording
By ending manual file recording, i.e. by releasing the OK button
Recording Measured Data to File
If data recording is active, the 9330 creates directories on the SD card, which contain the measured
data files.
The directory name is created from the current date, depending on the directory mode setting. A new
directory is created every month in the initial state, with the name: G20JJ_MM, for example in
November 2012 this would be "G2012_11".
The name of the files within it are then formed based on the day and time, i.e.: DDHHMMSS.TXT. For
example, if a file is created on 14.11.2012 at 14:41:39, then the directory name is as above and the
file name: 14144139.TXT
The files are written in ASCII text format. Each measured value creates a line that is terminated with
<LF> and <CR>. Depending on the line settings, each line begins with the time stamp consisting of
date, time and fractions of seconds, then the measured value and the unit. The default setting for
lines is as follows (first line of the example above):
12/11/14,14:41:39.27669 -0.0011 mV/V
12/11/14,14:41:39.37669 -0.0011 mV/V

Document Number 15-216 Rev B Page 20 of 74
Page 21
9330 Operating Manual
The date format satisfies the big-endian convention, i.e.
JJ/MM/DD
Date and time are separated by comma. The time format is
HH:MM:SS.bbbbb
Whereby the 5-digit fractions of seconds bbbbb, interpreted as a whole number, indicate 10μs steps.
In the example above, the data rate of the measuring amplifier is set to 10 measured values/seconds
((37669 - 27669) * 10μs = 100ms = 1/10 s).
Time stamp and measured value are separated with the tab character (‘/t’). Measured value and unit
are separated with a space.
The default setting for the maximum number of lines (i.e. displayed measured values) in a file is
32,000. As soon as this number is reached, a new file is opened.
In the “onOK” recording mode, whereby recording are only made by pressing the OK button, the data
sets (continuous lines during a recording) are written in the same file. After terminating a data set, i.e.
by releasing the OK button, the maximum number of lines is tested. If this is larger than or equal to
32000, a new file is opened. Therefore the number of lines can also be larger than 32000 in this
mode.
In this mode at least one line, i.e. one measured value, is written per data set. If you always want
exactly one measured value per data set, it is recommended that the data rate of the measuring
amplifier is set to a low value e.g. 1 measured value/second using communication software (e.g. 9330
control). By pressing OK, the device waits until a value is measured at records this value.
USB Operation
The USB operating mode can be selected in the logger menu at any time (see above), regardless of
whether the condition(s) for this operating mode are currently met or not - see note above. In the
latter case, the setting will be displayed in brackets in menu Level 1, and with an unchecked box
instead of a checked box in menu Level 2.
If a USB operating mode is currently active (i.e. the USB cable is connected to a PC) and the other is
selected, the current operating mode is switched off and the new mode is activated after 5 seconds. If
the host PC is equipped with speakers, you will hear the corresponding acoustic signal.
If the USB operating mode “SDcard” is selected and one of the recording modes is selected at the
same time, the recording will be switched off. In this Mass Storage mode, files on the SD card can be
read, written, deleted or formatted.

Power Supply per USB Connection
If the USB power supply “USB Power” is activated in the logger menu, the device can also be
powered via the USB port if it is connected to a host PC and fully configured. The battery is emptied
barely or not at all when switched on. When the device is switched off, the battery can be charged by
the host PC. In this state, the device is then an SD card reader, irrespective of the set USB mode.1 A
USB charging device cannot be used at this time.
USB Driver
The USB Mass Storage mode does not need a driver for Windows systems from Windows XP - once
the USB cable is connected a window will appear (depending on operating system settings), where
you can access the files; or you can reach the 9330 drive via “My computer” or with the Windows
explorer.
BlueDAQ Software Installation
1. Please follow these instructions carefully. DO NOT connect the amplifier to the PC until
instructed to do so. The BlueDAQ PC software is included on a USB Flash Drive with the amplifier
or can be downloaded from www.interfaceforce.com
2. Install the software by double-clicking the “setup.exe” file located in the BlueDAQ folder. You may
need to “Extract” the contents of the folder first if you downloaded it from the website. Follow the
instructions for installation. Once the software completes installation you MUST restart your
computer.
3. Attach the amplifier to the PC using the supplied USB A-B cable. BSC4, BSC8 and BX8 drivers
were installed with the BlueDAQ software and Windows will automatically load them. BSC8D/BX8
must be powered ON using supplied power cable and power switch. 9330 drivers must be
installed as described below.
4. When the device is connected in Communication mode for the first time, Windows will ask for a
driver directory. The installation process is described below. The driver is located on the USB
Flash drive supplied with the 9330. The Flash drive MUST be connected to the PC or the files
copied to the PC before connecting the 9330 to the PC.
5. Enable USB Communication mode. To do this, click the MODE button of the measuring amplifier
and select USBmode: Comm in the logger menu.

8.1. Modulus of Elasticity – Enter the elastic modulus of the material, whose stress shall be
determined in Newtown per square millimeters. The elastic modulus of an object is defined as
the slope of its stress-strain curve in the elastic deformation region of the material to be
measured. Since this parameter is very significant for the stress calculation, it should be entered
as exact as possible. Please multiply the values in lb/in2 with 0.0068971125763 to get the
modulus in N/mm2.
8.2. Poisson’s ratio – Enter the Poisson’s ratio of the material whose stress shall be determined. The
Poisson’s ratio is the ratio when a sample object is stretched of the contraction or transverse
strain (perpendicular to the applied load), to the extension or axial strain. Since this parameter is
a little less significant for the stress calculation, an approximate value may be entered.
FIGURE 83 - PARAMETERS OF THE MATERIAL

relative change in an electrical resistance to the mechanical strain epsilon. If all three gauge
factors are equal, enter the value and then press “All Same”.

value, some GSV-2 or GSV-4 measuring amplifiers do communicate the correct value to the
program. Together with the gauge factor, this value will be used to calculate the correct
scaling factor automatically after the OK button is pressed. NOTE: The strain gauges must be
wired in a quarter bridge configuration in order to calculate the scaling factor correctly.
8.4.2. Set Scaling factor – Uncheck this checkbox if you are sure that the scaling factors of the
channels where the three strain gauges are connected to are already correct. If checked, the
new scaling factor will be calculated automatically according to the gauge factors and the
input sensitivity settings. NOTE: the strain gauges must be wired in a quarter bridge
configuration in order to calculate the new scaling.
