The OM-CP-BRIDGE-101A is a
battery-powered, stand-alone data
loggers that measure and record
voltage signals from strain gages,
load cells and other low level dc
sources. This compact, unit is
perfect for monitoring stress, torque,
strain, pressure and data from many
other sensors/transducers.

The OM-CP-BRIDGE101A offers
a multiple start/stop function, ultra­high speed download capability,
1 million reading storage capacity,
optional memory wrap, battery life
indicator, optional password
protection, programmable alarms
and more.

Data retrieval is simple. Plug it into
an available USB port and the easy
to use Windows software does the
rest. The software converts your PC
into a real time strip chart recorder.

Using the Windows® software,
starting, stopping and downloading
from the OM-CP-BRIDGE101A is
simple and easy. Graphical, tabular
and summary data is provided for
analysis and data can be viewed in
V, mV and μV. The data can also be
automatically exported to Excel® for
further calculations.

The storage medium is non-volatile
solid state memory, providing
maximum data security even if
the battery becomes discharged.
Its small size allows it to fit almost
anywhere.

The OM-CP-BRIDGE101A was
designed with our customers in
mind. There are free firmware
upgrades for the life of the product
so that data loggers already
deployed in the field can grow with
new technological developments.
Units do not need to be returned
to the factory for upgrades. The
user can do this automatically
from any PC.
