NIFTI Strain Gauge Node

$3,685.00

NIFTI™ Sensor Nodes use precision sensors to collect environmental and structural response data onto flash storage for post-flight analysis. Sensor nodes are mounted adhesively onto aircraft’s outer surface and don’t require mounting holes or fasteners.

The NIFTI Strain Gauge Node captures high resolution three-channel measurement data from external sensors at a sampling rate up to 2000Hz.
