A serial port is also included, allowing remote data collection using any simple terminal software. The TA-100 features a wide gain range and a sharp-cutoff high frequency (low- pass) filter. This filter includes a...

TA-100 Instruction Manual 7.0 OUTPUT (rear panel) This BNC jack is used to connect the output signal from the TA-100 to an external monitoring or recording device. The usable range of the output signal is +8.0V. 8.0 SERIAL OUTPUT (rear panel) A serial output is produced each time the LCD display is updated (approximately every 200mS, or 50 times/second).

5mV transducer signal to be, say, 2.5V which would allow room for growth, but would still use a good part of the data-acquisition input range. To find out what TA-100 gain is needed, simply divide the input voltage by the required output voltage: 2.5V / 0.005V = 500X.
