Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Overview The Sensotec Model HH is a complete hand-held portable signal-conditioner/indicator for use with strain-gage trans- ducers. The instrument provides an excitation power sup- ply for such transducers, amplifies the transducer’s output, and indicates this reading in engineering units. It...
