In this section we provide PICOSTRAIN related White Papers. The first releases are:

  Construction Guideline for Solar-Driven Scales

Nowadays solar scales are not based on strain gage technology or if they are, they do need an auxiliary battery. With the PS08 it is possible to build an only solar-driven scale based on strain gage technology and without battery. In times of climate change and renewable energy discussion, completely solar driven devices are of great interest and have above-average market opportunities. Learn how to build such a scale in this White Paper.

How to Lower Gain and Offset Drift of a Load Cell

The gain and offset drift of the electronics is only one part of the gain and offset error of a weigh scale. Another part, which is significantly bigger, comes from the load cell itself. PICOSTRAIN offers new possibilities to improve the behavior of the load cell by doing an adjustment which is more precise than with standard solutions. At the same time, the production is simplified and because of this costs can be reduced. This White Paper explaines the background and shows how to do the adjustment in practice.
