2.13 Data Acquisition System

The Data Acquisition System converts transducer signals from analog voltages into data a computer can
process. Using ATI software, transducer data is converted to force and torque values. The Data Acquisition
System also supplies raw power to the transducer system. A variety of Data Acquisition components are
available to meet the needs of numerous applications. Contact ATI for more information.

2.14 F/T Software CD

The F/T software CD contains the software and calibration data needed for the user computer to convert
transducer readings into usable force and torque output. Included on the CD are Microsoft Windows drivers,
sample programs, C source code, and detailed help files. Download the most recent release of the DAQ
software at http://www.ati-ia.com/download/DAQ_FT/DAQ%20FT%20Software.htm.
NOTICE: The CD included with the DAQ system contains extensive help files on its software
that will benefit both the beginner and the advanced user. The CD includes a spreadsheet to
help advanced users with calculations. Refer to the Advanced Techniques section of the help file
for more information.

2.15 Interface Plates

Larger transducers come with a standard mounting adapter to mechanically attach the transducer to the robot
arm or apparatus that will be applying the force. The transducer also has a standard tool adapter with an ISO
9409-1interface for Gamma, Delta, and Theta models for attaching your tool.
The mounting adapter consists of:
•
Mounting adapter plate
•
Mounting screws
