New generation extremely high performance and low cost.
The 2nd Generation DSC is a high performance digital signal conditioner, with a host of additional features for the precision measurement of strain gauge transducers.
The card style unit is designed to be mounted along side the majority of sensors, providing a 'digital' load cell with the benefit of very high stability and a CAN output.

LCM Systems have identified the following points which demonstrate how strain gauge transducers users will benefit:-
- Plug-in-and-go-sensor
- No need for a separate instrument, DSC provides a direct output in engineering units from a standard Strain Gauge, - save cost and space.
- Simple to use
- The Strain Gauge manufacturer can supply the sensor pre-calibrated for system offset, gain, hysteresis and scale parameters.
- Outstanding performance to cost ratio 19 bit (500,000 divisions) and 0.001% noise immunity ideal for high precision process weighing applications such as batching, at a fraction of the cost of many instrument solutions
- Low cost of Strain Gauge ownership
- Use with low cost 2 pair twisted cabling - reduce set-up costs
- Digital storage of calibration details, means the system will not need regular re-calibration - save maintenance costs
- In-service replacement of a faulty/damaged Strain Gauge is possible by simply down loading the stored calibration details to a new cell. Save maintenance time and cost by not having to empty a vessel and re-apply test weights
- Universal systems compatibility
- Fieldbus connectivity ensures interoperability with existing/future process control equipment
- Non-expert maintenance
- Self diagnostics alerts user to common Strain Gauge faults such as over-range
