The Digital DST force gauges are easy-to-use base units for compressive force and traction measurements with user-friendly menu navigation. The DST also comes with the possibility to lock the measurement units mode as well as the measurement selection mode to prevent accidental changes.
The large backlit LCD display can be configured in basic format to display the measured value, measuring unit and measuring mode, or in multi-line format to simultaneously display peak and real-time values. The DST Digital DST force gauge also includes additional features such as a rotating display and maximum and minimum settings with an "OK" on the display for Go / No Go tests.
The DST force gauges have an ultra-fast sampling rate of 30,000 / sec. Data is collected via USB or RS-232 data output using Force Logger or SW1X software (both optional).
DST force gauges are powered by a rechargeable Ni-MH battery or AC adapter.
